No, there are people who seem to be acting in good faith but just really don't work well with others or can't get over their own POV. We should confuse bad faith (i.e. Judd Bagley) with good faith editors who just don't work well with other people at all.
This is true, but once they are banned they are banned. People who are merely difficult get editing restrictions - revert parole, civility parole. Giano is still there. SPUI left, unfortunately, but was not kicked out.
No disagreeement there. The point was more for clarity and context. It is important to remember that not all banned users actually have bad faith issues (of course if they don't, their likely response is to just go elsewhere. There seems to be a correlation with a lack of good faith on their part and their likelyhood to stick around and be disruptive)
