whatsbestforum - what's going on

I thought I could reduce my presence here and participate elsewhere so I registered on this site called whatsbestforum. First it looked harmless. I did not read the about section. 

I made one comment, a speaker recommendation - did not name or mention anyone - just posted a link to a speaker site and I was immediately banned. The site went into an endless loop, with the you are banned message. I can't log off or view anything, the only way I can view it is if I start another private browser. On top of that, a few hours later, the message changed to "Your IP address has been banned."  Like I am some kind of criminal to be kept away with a restraining order and pepper spray.

I wonder if it's an exclusive site or a cult, and if anyone from here is a successful member over there. The about us section is truly disturbing. I am not taking it personally, but it does bother me of course.

The speaker you recommended was not expensive enough for that Forum.

The site owner Ron is VERY touchy about anything that deviates from his opinion. I posted something a couple of years back that got huge traction.  But he didn’t like the discussion. He even baied me with a challenge to my argument which I happily agreed to.  His response.  He banned me.  What a pathetic hypocrite.

I too have been banned. I innocently, or so I thought, created an alternative name because I could not post under my previous Username, or I forgot my password, or something like that. I understand that I violated their terms but it was unintentional. Coincidentally, prior to seeing this thread, I just sent an email asking to be reinstated because I do think it's a very valuable source of information.
