I know you don't go looking for trouble Baggins, so I am also surprised that you received a note. I'll take a look, maybe it was just a disagreement about SSS settings or something in that Studio thread that got a little heated. Also keep in mind that whoever might have been disagreeing with you might have also received a similar note. DAZ isn't singling out Poser users.  :)

 

"they could ban anyone they wanted from their forums."

If I'm not mistaken, this is actually standard for almost all forums, a private site has its own rules and guidelines and you agree to those rules when you sign up. Renderosity could ban me this afternoon if they didn't like my username - they won't of course (for that reason anyway), and DAZ isn't going to ban anyone simply because they use Poser or a different figure. There is always a reason, whether it's fair or not and whether we think so is the question.
