Why would I not be okay with that? I'm damn okay with that, because I like freedom.
He has the right to ban you for whatever reason he deems fit, and to contest that is how you end up with the authoritarianism of reddit, where the employees and admins get involved because they will not let the subreddits talk about what they please, obviously in the confines of the law, and will not let them moderate themselves as they please without interference. Limits on moderation, and the communities' abilities to restrict you for whatever reason they want, is the authoritarianism, as now you've removed their ability and freedom to enforce the rules in their own community, or even arbitrary rulings, how they deem fit, instead allowing appeals to admins and appeals to outside authorities to deny them that right.
A man has the right to censor you, remove you, refuse you entry, or otherwise restrict your speech however he deems fit in his house, or refuse to do business with you for whatever reason he wants, good or bad. You can leave if you don't like it, but forcing him to accommodate you is tyranny.
