>you won't be removed for discussion in good faith,

>though you may be disagreed right to the bottom.

Is there a difference?

Both actions basically say "this speech is not worthy of consideration around here". The difference between making it still available to serve as a warning or removing it entirely is not meaningful IMO.

Downvoting says your opinion is unpopular. Banning means your opinion is unwelcome.

There is a difference. You are being obtuse.
