There's some truth in this, but I don't see much evidence that
people are being actively banned just for holding a POV, only for
disruptively asserting it.  I guess our tolerance for pedophilia
activism and holocaust denial is pretty low, but the average
holocaust denier engages in unambiguously banworthy editing (they
are usually not too subtle in their biases).
