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.
C'mon, this is ridiculous in pretty much all cases of username blocks (which is how this came up). How is it going to hurt someone for a block notice to show up when someone searches google for "godhateswikipedians"?
It might not matter in that case, but it does matter for those of us using real names or long-standing pseudonyms. Why should it bother anyone? It is less work to not have to put anything on the user's talk page.

Well, I hate to say it, but my insanity in a way Wikipaedia-induced... not in the sense that Wikipaedia is in any way the root problem, but in the sense that Wikipaedia destabilised the balance between total memory suppression and not being able to go one waking hour without reliving one's worst memories (and yes, there is a balance between those things).
