Um, wasn't it stated at one time that since you had been 'banned'

that may be mis-remembering something.
The only person you can change is yourself, you can't change others.
Regardless of how you feel, or think, the moderators are acting on their
own interpretation (s) of the guidelines.
When I was actively involved in 'censoring' and 'removal' of posts that
exceeded the guidelines (in another newsgroup, on another server by the
way), there were on several occasions when things happened that
shouldn't have, on the face of it, we 'the moderators', weren't
following the guidelines that we laid out - just as it appears here.
Mistakes happen, people get carried away, people let their emotions rule
their better judgement, there are a myriad of reasons. And yep, posts
get cancelled or removed and they shouldn't have, or posts that should
have been removed weren't.
In other words, stuff* happens. And while it may be unsettling when it
happens to your posts or messages, it really isn't the end of the world.
In fact, since such cancellations are after the fact in this newsgroup,
most probably won't even notice, as they have already read it.
In short, so what. A post from you got canned. It's not that earth
shattering, nor do I think it will materially affect much of anything in
the future. You don't like it, that's obvious, but ofttimes one has to
deal with things he/she doesn't like.
