I think you misunderstand me. I don't think anyone should be banned unless they're demonstrably disruptive. Reddit identified a group of people whom they could demonstrate were genuinely disruptive and brought the hammer down on them. I don't disagree with that action.

I didn't misunderstand you, and I know you aren't in favor of automatic banning. I just wanted to clarify this for anyone else reading our exchange. I'm happy we're in agreement /u/spaceghoti.
