&lt;p&gt;I also posted a satirical science article about cosmology entitled &amp;quot;Hubble Telescope Proves Existence of Heaven&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; It was thoughtful and humorous.&amp;nbsp;This was the response I received from your Forum Host:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your post was deleted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Subject: Hubble Telescope Proves Existence of Heaven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reason: &lt;br /&gt;OK, that&amp;#39;s enough. I&amp;#39;m recommending you be banned by the administrator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you,&lt;br /&gt;Astronomy.com Forums&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cs.astronomy.com/asycs/"&gt;http://cs.astronomy.com/asycs/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;As an amateur astronomer for over 40 years (yes, I build my own telescopes), I take offense to such a myopic and exceedingly RUDE response.&amp;nbsp; As a lawyer of 22 plus years in the area of litigation &amp;amp; IP(having represented sites such as this and much larger) such behavior is outrageous and I am quite sure does not represent the community at large.&amp;nbsp; Although this is a private site, we should be celebrating American independence today and recall the majesty of our bill of rights and the First Amendment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As an American I am offended by the word &amp;quot;banned&amp;quot; which is now identified with your group and its administration.&amp;nbsp; I urge you to send a message back to the forum that this conduct was most inappropriate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course, this message may be banned as well and my account stricken from the site before you have a chance to express your opinion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Respectfully,&lt;/p&gt;
