While many of them were goaded, even baited into it, virtually all the purged freepers said something that led to their ban. They would get tired of being attacked all the time, and lash out personally at someone, and then they’d get zapped.
But it was still within their power to control their own fate. It was like one of those bad movies where all the prisoners are standing, and the guards are trying to bait them into throwing a punch so the guards can kill them, and one guy keeps saying “don’t take the bait”, but one by one the others can’t take it anymore, launch a punch, and end up dead.
It was all very “Lord of the Flies” though, how other freepers danced on their graves.

It was totally pathetic.
I agree... I remember it well. It was despicable.
