I'm not objecting to banning a person who refers to an African American as a nigger. The problem I have is with people who block a user for a day for saying something like "That's retarded" when it's clear that it wasn't directed towards another person. A reason often given is "using 'retard' in a derogatory manner," even when the person did nothing of the sort.
