Why is there punishment for toxic behavior?

"If you feel the need to flame over a game then there is something wrong with you simple as.

You play to have fun, not to go out of your way to make someone feel like shit and ruin their day."

I 100% agree with this. If you feel the need to offend someone, then there is something wrong with you. You feel the need to reduce the other person's self-worth in order to feel better about yourself (and mask your insecurities). If you're not afraid of the truth, you cannot be a victim. With this behaviour one can only be harmful to himself only. And we should try to think of a solution to help these people, banning is a convenient solution for a very serious problem.
