I can't judge your specific situation one way or the other from where I'm sitting right now as I have almost zero knowledge of it. All I can say is that I was a moderator for close to five years on a SE site and every time I've seen this happen or be discussed behind the scenes it was for good reasons. On our site we even had a moderator removed at one point, and this was for a good reason too.

These reasons should have been communicated to you. If not, then clearly something went wrong somewhere.

Ah yes, the "trust us, our secret proceedings against defendants are always highly-principled and just" argument.

How can I argue with that? You've won our debate so convincingly that I must stop and crawl away in shame.
