Okay, you are the thread starter. Apparently you have the right. However, if you really want to stump me, you should point out the faults in the view.

When you are asked to leave a thread, you are allowed one post to acknowledge you have been asked to leave.
Do NOT respond again.

News: Formal rule on banning people from your thread
3. When a thread owner asks someone to leave, that person is entitled to ONE response, for the express purpose of acknowledging they are leaving - no other commentary or argument. If the thread owner mentions them or responds to that post, or even an earlier post by them, then the person banned can respond to that post and is no longer banned.
