I don't think that you are in any danger of being bannned, I don't really notice you causing any trouble, I can't say I understand what you were saying in your post that you quoted above, but it does not appear very off topic to me, I've been farther off topic than that, but I'm fortunate that people tend to ignore me so it's probably easier for me to do that.
