Can you name some? I'm scratching my head over what seems like a parallel you're trying to draw with the Giuliani people. I don't see it at all.
After seven years? Sorry, I don't remember any names. I remember that there were people that I knew who were banned. Some may have stopped short of being banned, but after being insulted and knowing that any return of insults would result in them being banned, they left. At various times, I left for the same reason. I missed them. I think many of them were reinstated later, and others came back as things calmed.
If you don't see it, that's okay with me.
