So... reddit is like every forum on the internet before, if the people who are running or administrating it do not like you, you get banned. The title is clickbait shit as well.

Surprising as it may seem, it is possible for someone in a position of authority to disagree and even dislike someone else without stooping to using the powers of their authority position against those that they dislike. In the real world this is known as "being a mature individual".

  Stating the obvious doesn't make it real. Go and look at the OPs post history. In all his comments he is hardly critical with everything said in the discussions he takes part. In most of them he is hardly discussing the topic in a productive way. He is contradicting ideas without bringing his own all the time. If I would run a community and see someone like him slip up I would gladly swing the ban hammer as well. Nobody needs people like this in a community. PS: Read the second paragraph and you know with what kind of person you are dealing with.

    Perhaps the author was being unreasonable. I see no evidence pointing in either direction. But that is not the point I was making. The point I was making is that if the only argument someone has to defend them there actions is "according to the law, it is my community so I can ban anyone for any reason", well that's a bad argument. People in positions of authority can and should be criticised. Yes, they should still be criticized even if their it is there "right" to do whatever is is that they are doing. I would also even argue that anyone who only defends themselves by saying it is their "right" to abuse their position of authority should be criticised 10 times harder. Because if THAT is the only argument that they can make, well that must mean every other defense is even worse.
