That sounds wrong:
A rule may begin with a "!" (exclamation mark). If it does, it is labelled
as a "exception rule" and then treated as if the exclamation mark is not
present.
Oh well. I'm too aggressive on the ban. I'd rather fail closed than open :)
Anyway, I'll try to find the meaning of that bang. I seem to recall I
could not find the meaning of it in the past.

It excludes a hostname from a previous matching rule. See
http://publicsuffix.org/list/#list-format
Currently, there doesn't seem to be any exclusion with a wildcard, so
right now all lines beginning
with '!' are equivalent to "accept this hostname".
Also note that by removing the "*." from the beginning of the lines*,
you are acepting more hosts than
you should, such as a certificate for *.com.bd (represented as *.bd in
the PSL) which should have been
rejected.
* Your script comments are wrong btw, since you're not removing full lines.
