If you're talking about me, I could ban anyone to earn more respect, but I can't unless I see the federal criminal posting something against the rules.
After that, we made a point about not permanently banning users unless they're certified trolls, or alt accounts, which is what happened. It's pretty common for mods to be removed for banning users permanently.
We were having a discussion about the extent to which talking for or against pedophilia is allowed, the discussion was left hanging before several users started crying and slamming their laptops shut. Unfortunately, I have no one to talk to.
