I for one never saw any of these site- or person-bashing journal entries. I saw some (including some from the now-banned folks) that expressed their trouble and dismay at actions--not policies, but actions--taken by the site leadership. Was that the personal attacking that they were banned for? Or did the offending entries get modded into never-never-land? Or did I just never have good enough timing to see them?
I don't mind saying: some dear friends of mine just got banned. I'm really, really sad about that. I guess I see why in Hal's (and others') mind it had to be done, but still, I'm sad about it.
