It is a forum's admins duty to remove any slanderous comments, so remember this, anyone consistently slandering and threatening the existence of the forum will be banned, ultimately it is the forum that pays the price for slanderous posts, it is our responsibility to remove them, especially if by request.
If you have been kicked off another forum for arguing about a device being a fraud chances are the admin had no choice and you did not provide enough physical proof to show it was a fake, that in a slanderous action and expect to be banned because of it, specially if you keep doing it over and over again.

Aye, it is sad but true. Today the power of "fear" dominates
the social/scientific environment.
It doesn't take much to be "banned" from certain forums.
In the case of both my own and Farrah's experiences at the
infamous "EF" it was the result of questioning the integrity
and honesty of the forum co-founders and certain principal
participants in forum activities/discussions/ploys.
Some of us are not able to stand idly by while certain
parties engage in deceptive exploitations of the gullible
and uneducated for financial gain; we must speak out to
raise questions and/or criticisms. Naturally, we attempt to
do so with maturity and without rancor but with the full
expectation that some sort of retaliatory action will be taken
by the "forum" to preserve its "interests."
Taking a vocal stand for Truth is more important in certain
situations than remaining silent for fear that our "voice"
will be silenced.
It may be difficult to prove than any particular device is
indeed a "fake" or a "fraud" but it should be possible to
raise doubts in the name of truth without entering in to
the realm of "slander."
How is this done? By avoiding judgmental and/or accusatory
conclusions; by "letting the facts (truths) speak for themselves."
By refusing to become emotionally entangled in personal
differences of opinion or personal attack.
It is possible to call a spade a spade with well formulated
words which remain clear of "slander" territory.
For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.
