Nah. DS9 made a big point of showing people doing bad things to accomplish good goals, while always questioning if those were actually good. Nothing about Section 31 is worse than what Sisko does in “In the Pale Moonlight” for example. And after so much about the Tal Shiar, the Obsidian Order, and the actual conspiracies within Starfleet (see STVI, the season finale of TNG season 1, The Pegasus, and Insurrection), Section 31 is not a far stretch at all.
I love DS9 and its grey morality approach, it’s a good contrast to TNG’s attempts at “moral perfection”, and in my comments I didn’t criticize S31’s existence, just that the misterious, barely there approach of DS9 was perfect for that, subsequent stories completely failed to respect the original incarnation, which in my opinion was better, and whose abandonment causes continuity issues

“Yeah, way to focus on one part of the comment.”
Yes, people are allowed to do that.
