You seem reluctant to consider that maybe bans against unpopular opinions exist, and that people must have been a-holes.

You're arguing with a power-mod-in-training, lol.

ban against unpopular opinions exist sometimes because of site wide policies and regrettably lots of human traits fall on a bell curve spectrum which can make a lot of opportunity for harm by several measures.

Most people aren't moral and each group or society gets to decide what the limits of the boundary of discourse shall be

If you frequent the r/ModSupport and r/mod help subs, you’ll find the vast majority of threads by people claiming that they were unjustly banned by power tripping mods were posted by people who didn’t read sub rules or were otherwise incapable of recognizing fault in themselves.

So forgive me if I’m a bit skeptical.
