Welcome to steemit, land of the roaming hall monitor, home of the censorship bot, new home to the reddit style censorship brigades. Kudos for standing up to the first one to come after you.

Just FYI, they cannot ban you and take your money. All they can do is downvote\flag each post to hide it, which can be reversed if others upvote it. You still have access to your wallet and funds.

Don't let the hall monitors chase you off, after that great response they will probably leave you alone now anyway.
