Sorry I don't understand. The individuals mentioned have all stated on
the mailing list they left because of (or in part because of) Michael.
Paul continues to emphasise this with his choice of username on IRC.
The banning and censorship took place and again are on the mailing
list.

So what part of my statement is not false?

My intention is to point out Michael blames everyone else's actions
for people leaving the project ("In fact the longer this continues the
more people will leave"), yet people are leaving the project because
of his actions (banning and censorship) and have publicly said that.

Furthermore these actions appear to have no consequences (apart from
causing people to leave of course).
