I do agree with your second point, though.

Further thought it's also IMO ok for an owner to set the agenda if they want a left wing forum or a forum fights for equality of sexes etc that's absolutely fine by me again I accept or leave.

you know where to draw the line in a discussion I don't think I've ever seen you lose your temper no matter what anyone says to you. That's a big plus that will stop you being banned

Re: Discussion Sites Banning People Unreasonably
Almost every person who is banned thinks they were banned unreasonably
With regards to the mods here, neither Mags or Meg volunteered.... I roped them into it
I can also attest to Meg's account, she was banned from another forum and some of the members of my own forum PM'd me to say she shouldn't be allowed. I told them that we don't care what goes on other sites and we give everyone a fair chance.
Well, Meg turned out to be one of our most loyal and trusted members and is now a Supervisor on 3 forums I admin

Tbh, posts/threads like this usually get the alarm bells ringing as well :/
I also don't think this thread really adds anything of value to the forum and may encourage people to discuss their own (temp) bans they've had on this very forum - which is against our rules. So I'm closing the thread.
