Just remember that that will only give the part of the story which is linked to that one username.

Commenters who post grand narratives about why they were banned typically have a long string of past banned accounts. The giveaway is that they never link to them. That would let readers make up their own minds about why they'd gotten banned, and how accurate their story really is.

Oh for sure. In this case, just looking at their comments it's pretty clear why they've been banned.
