Jost,
There is another aspect of this, and that is the concept of "pretext".
In your answers, I think that you meant that in some cases, an investigation for discovery would have to be made to see if the rule's reasons were a pretext to expell the poster by saying that the poster was uncivil, being that the rule was made ad hoc.
Now in the case in hand, to determine if the rule's reason(s) constitute a pretext to justify my expulsion from the forum, this needs to be explored.
In order to do this, we examine their reasons for the rule, see if the reasons are valid, see if the rule is being allowed to be broken by the other members, and see if there is a hostile environment created toward the poster in question before the rule was made to determine if the making of the rule was targeting that poster. You could also see if statements that have the potential to arrouse antisemitic feelings are left on the board unsanctioned even after I have requested for the administration to do so. You could also see if other members are allowed to post defamatory statements about me and not receive the same sanction as I. This is another aspect going to what is called "more harsh treatment"
