As a forum owner, if someone pissed you off, you are free to ban and delete them, it's your site right?

I just banned someone from a mainstream site I run (with very good cause), and this muppet is sending me emails now about freedom of speech, constitutional rights etc, and even (I LOL'd) threatening to sue me because of it.

The site is hosted in the US. Surfers / members have no rights on my site do they? I should be at liberty to ban people at will, it's a privately run site, and I'm not answerable to anyone, correct?
