Since you have not asked me not to reply to you, unlike some other accounts, I can explain now that it's actually more lenient to give a year ban than a permaban, which is standard practice on some other fora here.
I am very interested in hearing about objections to moderation that do depend on content rather than objective rule violations. The account you're referring to as to 1-year ban violated rule 3 with an unnecessary (trolling) meta post and, I add, rule 1 with at least 7 attack comments. This is consistent with other recent bans, and better than the permabans given to those known to constantly press community-reject points (to forum-slide).
If you wish to contribute conspiracies and not subversive meta posts yourself, I think you'll find the community welcoming of your content.
