All I meant was that he wasn't necessarily banned because of posting this thread. It may be related to this, or it may be something else entirely. Only the user and the mods know the full story of any previous warnings or private conversations that may have contributed to any decision to ban said user.
The mods won't reveal that information, and so any other speculation is likely based on incomplete information and is thus inappropriate.
We go through this just about every time someone is banned, and a mod almost always has to chime in to explain this. I thought I'd save them the effort. 🙂
