It seems perfectly reasonable to use metaphors based on legal systems, including human rights, in discussing these matters, which do, after all, involve rules of human behavior and their adjudication by authorities. Fairness and justice are constantly invoked in all sorts of everyday matters, from sports to baking.

I didn't put my words in your mouth -- I quoted your own words precisely, and the implication you were trying to make is obvious; so respectfully, please refrain from gaslighting here. I simply suggested dropping the hyperbole of "star chambers and kangaroo courts", "secret trials punishing people who don't know they're being accused' and "very basic principle[s] of Human Rights and dignity" over someone getting banned from a website over bad conduct issues. You need not reply -- I'm done with this portion of the conversation.

I have said that the general principles of equality, right to fair trial, not having ones honor damaged by baseless accusations, etc. which are present at the UDHR are being forgotten here.
Of course you may argue that since the WMF is a private organization,
they
are free to engage in this kind of secret trials, star chambers and kangaroo courts at will. As others already stated, the matter here is not if they can, but if they should be engaging on those schemes, as they are now.

There is no "very basic principle of Human Rights and dignity" to be
free
from the presumption of guilt by others. You may be confusing Article
11
of the UHDR, but this applies explicitly only to "penal offenses."
Unless
Fram is getting locked up in prison for his actions, let's drop the
absurd
hyperbole that this is somehow a human rights violation.

that
has not stopped people from finding themselves their guilty part of election, using their own bias to evaluate the case. Including some Wikipedia related social network accounts that should
be
acting more responsible and wiser than joining the rabble in the
offwiki
harassment of their guilty part of choice.

If you really think Fram's framing of events here is even
plausible,
What you are calling Fram's framing appears to be a the WMF's
version
of events as told to fram. The WMF does look slightly better if you remember that T&S arw trying to improve behaviour through threat of blocks not file a diff heavy arbcom case.
let alone the story
Given that the other versions of "the story" are T&S's PR waffle or conspiracy theories it understandable that people are going to go
with
the option that at least gives them something to work from.
