I don't see how that user can be banned because his post has some similarities with an article on some other websites.

The issue here is, is that post a direct copy of the link?

Yes.

And does that deserve an instant ban?

And also were the moderators biased because the user made an unsavoury post?

No. They were upholding the rules.

And when would we have anyone protecting the rights of the lower ranking members?

You have the same rights as everyone else. If I plagiarized, I would also be banned.

Since you clearly haven't, I would suggest familiarizing yourself with the forum rules before posting any further.
