My question, though, is given the long and otherwise outstanding history several of these people had, were they given a warning (and explanation) that they were treading on thin ice and risking a ban? It would seem they had earned that by their past forum behavior, despite what they said/wrote in their journals.

The signals were pretty obvious to me what the administrators were trying to stop, hell, just look at ARTelevision's journal. I could see this coming for nearly a week, the only surprise to me was the number of people who left.
This is a classic issue involving a social contract. By joining the site you
explicitly agree to the site rules and standards. When given signals to change your ways, you should either change or leave. As opposed to nation-states, you have absolute freedom in this manner.
