This morning, a user left comments that I felt weren't pertinent to Codex.
http://codex.wordpress.org/index.php?title=Talk:Contributing_to_WordPress&curid=3949&diff=26625&oldid=26624&rcid=25088
I banned that user (User:Branko) for 240 hours for leaving unprofessional
comments, but he has questioned that with this:
-----
"I see you blocked me from posting at the WordPress codex, stating as
reason: "unprofessional comments".
When trying to edit a page, it is suggested that I contact you. Without of
course giving actual contact data, because that would probably be too easy.
Feeling a little hostile?
Anyway, I do not know what was "unprofessional" about my comment, nor that
there was a requirements for all comments to a FOSS project (presumably also
open to non-professionals) to be professional at all times.
Please enlighten me what is defined as "professional" at the Wordpress
codex, so that I can work hard to get the ban lifted?"
-----
Was I unreasonable in banning this user? Or did I commit unwarranted
censureship?
