[Thanks for sharing.] That was actually part of this thread's problem: There was no easy way for none-admins to even see *what* had been deleted since there was no easy way get at the history for the deleted user page of a banned user. Based on that content, probably most people would have sympathized with the deletion, although not necessarily with the (lack of) communication flow.
