A forum is a forum. We can like it or leave. The owners thereof are free to make it whatever they want.
They are kinda like clubs. If you don't like the pope, don't join the Knights of Columbus... if you do, and you go there telling them you don't like the pope, don't grip when they toss you on your ear.
Don't join the local rod and gun club if you don't like fishing and hunting and blah and blah and blah.
If a forum is known to be a forum where ministers of common beliefs go to slap each other on the back and amen each other, and that is really fine if that is what the members want, why go there to upturn their applecart? And then, when they toss you for doing something you knew would dump out their apples, why come here and gripe about it?
I have never joined AMF. I don't think it's a bad place, in fact, I think I would find more commonality of belief there than I do here.
But I like it here, and if I get banned, I ain't going somewhere else to complain.

Theres the problem. It's okay for them to ban him. But its not okay for him to talk about being banned. Maybe he went out of his way to be banned. I wasn't there, I don't know. But regardless, if they are in the right to ban someone, then that someone is in the right to speak about their perception of the events that led up to them being banned.

I reckon that is true. At least here anyway. At my forum I might ban someone for that....

Good points.
We would just reincarnate back as one of our alter egos!

Just an FYI-- Unless you do something bad enough to warrant a perm ban-- most bans here will be short term. The admin team has always been pretty merciful in giving people additional chances. However, coming back under an alter ego while on a short term ban from one ID will end up in an irreversible perm ban-- for ALL identities.
