I'm sorry you received that treatment from that other board. I doubt those that spoke against this site really know PC at all.
It hurts to be banned, no matter whether one was at "fault" or not. I know personally, as I tried to have a totally scriptural discussion of suicide on a Christian board...and was banned! No warning, no PMs, no email as to that it would happen or why it happened, no one to ask questions to... very strange. (And the topic was not being promoted nor condemned, just several members there discussing it rather intelligently.) The others were not banned from what I saw.
I drew the conclusions that some people just need to show their power, and other people can't fully fathom all topics.
There are a wide range of moderators here, so odds are more than one will understand what's happening when a conflict arises.

Actually, I think she meant that no "attack" is within guidelines. IMNSHPO if you feel attacked, notify a mod and get a second opinion.
