I say, continue the banning. This forum, like my own and all others, is privately owned. the rules of conduct are set by the owners, and those given the responsibility of moderating have the right to make whatever decision they deem appropriate.
Freedom of speech isnt protected. If the rules forbid certain conduct, then it is forbidden. Everyone digitally "signs" and agreement before joining a forum, and by doing so, state that they will obey the rules, or accept whatever consequences are spelled out in those rules.
Basically, this forum isnt run by the governement, so if the owner doesnt want people using the word "papaya" because it offends them, then they can ban you for using it, and they dont have to answer to anyone.
