Appeal to the authority is a bad, invalid argument. However, it doesn't look like you give a flying duck for good argumentation at all.
So far, your "garden" looks like an extremely toxic place that has nothing to do with rational thinking. I definitely don't mind that you do whatever you want with your personal channel, just don't use this misleading title. It's a not channel about rationality, it's one certain guy's personal fan club.
And by the way, I remember you wrote that you don't ban people often. Now I think that you lied about this too.

Well, I don't have any idea what to do with the guy who just lies into my face. Especially when he got the power to ban me just because he feels like that.
Apparently, lesswrong.com is not a place for any discussions.
occasionally appending "only an idiot would say that" to your statements
Well, this is just a lie. Other points are misleading or outright made up too, but this one is particularly blatant.
On the other hand, jollybard call me a jerk and an idiot for a few times, and you paid zero attention to it.
But who cares, right? Long live the echo-chamber.
Facts:
1. A few days ago I had a kind of a clash with one guy in the Lesswrong Slack channel; that guy went aggressive and started calling me names.
2. The moderator (eliot) stepped in and started blaming me for "adversarial and non-collaborative behavior"
3. After that both guys seemed to hold a grudge against me and tried to criticize whatever I wrote on every occasion, no matter how made up their criticism was
4. Some more days later, my account in Slack is banned with no warning
And after all this, I feel extremely disappointed. This is not how rational discussions should be conducted.
Just do it, then. Go and enjoy your personal fan club.
