Good riddance. I guess some people think this magical idea of "free-speech" also gives them free license to be obnoxious to everyone, be generally unpleasant, and also be completely free of the consequences of their actions (e.g. that people will get fed up with them eventually and tell them to fuck right off, or ban them).
Having the right to express your ideas freely and for free in a free to use forum, and being an abusive, uncivilised and hateful jerk are two completely orthogonal concepts — I'm actually quite surprised that so many people have trouble grasping the not-so-subtle difference between the two.
