>You are still dismissing the role of emotional trauma in your fairness equation.
I'm not dismissing anything. They are separate issues.
>Even if you freely decide to leave twitter due to experiencing trauma you will likely still have that scarring for a long time.
I agree, you might. It's terrible.
And even after the abuse perpetrator is banned from Twitter, those scars remain. The ban itself doesn't solve that problem. That's why they are separate issues.
The point of contention is the mentality that driving a few innocent people off Twitter is okay in the name protecting other innocent people's ability to use the system. You're just shifting the harm around, and aren't even affecting the real problems. The bullying will, in all likelihood, continue (especially if these are real, determined, sociopathic trolls), and you have more, self-inflicted, victims.
Anyway, getting a bit far down this rabbit hole.
