What is the point of these forums if you're banned for using it?

From the modlog: admin Banned @Julianus reason: 3 week timeout for more constant bickering expires: in 21d

There are admins with clear political bias and they are using their powers to suppress opinions they don't like. This isn't a ban for violating rules... but simply replying to their posts. What gives?
