This is true, but once they are banned they are banned.  People who
are merely difficult get editing restrictions - revert parole,
civility parole.  Giano is still there.  SPUI left, unfortunately,
but was not kicked out.

Basically, once a user is banned the burden of evidence shifts.  That is, if
a banned user wants to convince me of something then I expect them to verify
it in a manner that holds up to scrutiny.  That means they provide diffs and
logic, and before I trust their version I check it out through other means
to see whether that matches the whole story.  Most of the time what banned
users present is cherry picked evidence and half truths.  That's been my
field experience.  The times when things do check out I'll work within the
parameters of site policies to help them.
