There's plenty of folks on that thread who said they would support Giuliani who are still here. The banned folks aren't victims, the are people who said some nasty things. You can ignore that all you want, but to claim they were unfairly persecuted reminds me a lot of the Free Mumia crowd or the mother of the arrested criminal who always said "he was always such a nice boy...".
All I can say is wow, since I could, (as you say) be “prosecuted” for more.
