I witnessed that entire LJ Advisory board race up close and personal, and I can say there was an extreme amount of "deplorable" behavior happening then. The people who were banned weren't the ones trying to have discussion or banned because they had a different viewpoint or didn't like her tone. She bent over backwards trying to walk a line that allowed people who disagreed their voice in her journal. I think it is wrong to characterize it as a "reign of banning/deletion/freezing-of-comments terror." Banning people and freezing threads was an absolute last resort.
