I haven't seen many people run off Wikipedia who didn't badly need to be run off in order to allow the rest of the million or so editors enjoy the project.
Most people get blocked/banned for continuously doing "X" after polite requests from reasonable people to stop doing "X". A reasonable person would do something else on Wikipedia besides "X" or go somewhere else where "X" is acceptable. (go play elsewhere) Most of the people who get blocked/banned were only here to do "X" in the first place.
These are the people who are claiming they were "abused" when the only thing that happened to them was that they were prevented from doing "X" on Wikipedia which is "just a website". How does this compare with people who suffer real abuse in real life?
