Justin, I don't want to open up a huge can of worms...but I will say this. Private forums are private forums. And the owner should reign supreme. So I never question when a poster gets banned. That is not to say that I would have done it myself....just that private forums need to remain under the total control of their owner - and there are many here that are controversial. I wouldn't worry about it too much. I would imagine that Hver only has moderating privledges on his own forum, and not on the Debate Forums . And the posts you got moderated on were a unique situation. So I can't imagine it will happen in the future, and I certainly can't imagine that you would be someone going over to his forum to post, even if you could..
