Yeah, I think it's just a natural response to being in a very strictly ruled culture like Stack Overflow. The focus falls on the details ("banned after asking 1 question") rather than the general premise ("banned unfairly"). When you point out the details don't sound right, that is absolutely correct, but that doesn't help the person, since the rules are just arbitrary from their viewpoint anyways. It's a hard problem. (And I apologize if my response came off overly harsh. I tried to soften it.)
