I noticed that I lost 20 points recently and when I went to look, the screen read something to the effect of "user removed". I am just wondering what happens if a person earns a badge based on material submitted for a question (or answer) which is later removed. If I get a badge for choosing a best answer and then that user (and his answer) is removed, do I lose the badge? I think there was a similar question in the box on the right but as I went to click on it, it disappeared.

No. Once you earn a badge, it's your to keep, except for the tag badges. (Source; see there for further details.)
