If one bars ones own self due to the fact that the site chooses to moderate and censor what that person writes before they post said written article in their site, I guess that would be the same as being banned.  Can't help it that you chose to do it to yourself.  You can play semantics all you want, you seem to think it's your forte.  Simple fact is, not many people care to read what you write, or share your viewpoints.  But please, by all means continue to exercise your First Amendment rights.  Just like the jackasses that burn the American flag, it's your right to irritate the hell out of everybody around you.  Carry on, you soldier of freedom.
