Of course.  People go against me all the time and don't get banned. 
Indeed, some of our worst trolls who have attacked me most viciously 
have survived quite a long time under my personal protection.

If I went bonkers and banned someone who had done absolutely nothing 
wrong other than disagree with me in some way, I hope that the ArbCom 
would quietly and firmly tell me that I am bonkers.  I would listen.
