Banned from a forum by a "host"?

I think either last year or the previous year I was banned from a forum by a host. I can't recall the details. To be honest I'm not suffering a crisis from it, and I find the DU set up to be fine. However, it does seem a bit arrogant for a single individual to have the ability to ban comments forever. The whole idea seems a bit inefficient, because it creates an environment where there's no debate (the forum becomes an echo chamber where all participants have to more or less agree with the host).
 
Conversely, if a forum is ruled in such an autocratic fashion, is it possible to create a parallel forum which could be labeled "forum subject yy, diversity of opinion encouraged"?

Welcome to DU; if they want your opinion, they'll give it to you.

If you had read the Cave before you crawled onto the beach at Skins' Island, you'd already know that it's an echo chamber.

Not at the DUmp. Start your own website, DUmbass.

Lemurs and socialists are two of the stupidist mammals on Earth. With a name like "socialist lemur", this DUmmy will fit in perfectly with his new friends!

Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll drive his Lada off a cliff.

Stormfront. His Jew hatred was way too radical for them.
