Neo-Nazis are frequently banned for disruptive editing as are many other aggressive POV pushers.
"All IP addresses owned or operated by the Church of Scientology and its associates, broadly interpreted, are to be blocked as if they were open proxies."

The obvious difference here being this was a ban of IP addresses owned by a particular organization, not the people behind it -- the editors of the CoS are welcome to edit from their homes or anywhere EXCEPT the IP addresses that were disrupting the project.
An IP address is not a point of view.
