However, talk pages are shown on Google, and block logs aren't... and it is entirely conceivable that a banned user might not want the fact that he or she is banned to show up on Google.
They should have thought about that before doing something blockworthy, then, shouldn't they?
Wikipaedia has a right to block people, blocking people being part of Wikipaedia's self-determination, but there are still things Wikipaedia can and should do to make the process as painless as possible. The goal should only be to prevent the person from editing, not hurt the person.
Also, as a banned user, I must ask you to not imply that banned/blocked users 'deserve' to be banned/blocked.
