Suspensions and Closed for Review

[ProfessorMeThis]

First, let me say right up front, I do not wish to be controversial.  I do not want to cause issues.  

I had just got around to actually posting at ATS after years of lurking when it disappeared.  I am very pleased to have found this site and I don't want to do anything to put my membership in jeopardy.  I am curious and want to know the rules so as not to break any of them.

I've been reading the thread regarding gun control.  I really have no opinion, at least not one strong enough to share.  I've just been enjoying the very interesting and what I would describe as intelligent, thought provoking and especially well mannered discourse being offered.

Then, one of the participants just quite contributing and I see his status shows SUSPENDED.

This was followed by questions about why this suspension occurred seemingly closing the thread.  A moderator posted CLOSE FOR REVIEW.  I admit, I was one of the posters questioning the suspension.  

So, I want to know if I did something wrong by questioning a suspension.  What kinds of things can get one suspended?  And, what conditions lead to a thread being closed?

To whomever responds, thank you very much for your time.  I hope I haven't worn out my welcome, so to speak.

Answered. My inbox is open to him though if he wants to talk. It's not unresolvable, but it's not up for public discussion either.
