You only see one part, and other people have brought up this topic before.

Some people appear helpful or knowledgeable in public, yet behave very rudely in PM.
Or they play kind and helpful in public, and then run off with people's razors and money. I've had one very visible senior member tell me in public how I 'wronged' another such 'valuable' member, where said member actually stole several thousand dollars worth of razors and money from a group of members.

Members have been banned before, and then came back and became mentors and moderators or developers. Being banned has nothing to do with being likeable or agreeable or having the same opinion.

Just because someone is knowledgeable doesn't mean they don't do rude or dishonest things that warrant banning.
