Hal, your hearing (about which I know nothing but its cause) happened because you behaved in a way that could reasonably be considered as rude and disrespectful and was, without a doubt, highly disruptive. Because of the charter, you did not get summarily banned. Because of the charter, you got a jury that you helped to shape and that is trying to decide whether the charges are correct. The charter will limit the penalty they can give you if they do find the charges correct.
The charter is doing you a bunch of favors, Hal. You didn't get any of those favors on TORC or TORN. You did get silenced there.
Edit: To clarify
