However, in the Goodman thread where I got banned for 3 days, it seemed to me that I was perceived as being negative about 4e, because I pointed out that Goodman was saying that 4e had not sold as well as 3e did a year after launch - though he put a positive spin on this. To me, that says nothing about the relative merits of each game.
A poster consequently regarded me as anti-4e, was fairly rude to me and others, and got a ban. I also got a ban. My feeling is that I was more vulnerable to being banned because I was perceived by the mods as a negative poster, and that perception was based on the statements of another poster.
So, my advice to mods would be: Before you ban people, stop and think, is this poster really being negative? Are they being disruptive? What's actually going on here?

In the mod's defense, I don't think that was a typical thread nor a typical day. I think they were just fed up with the shenanigans. I know I was, almost welcomed the ban, people were acting strange.
