I very much agree. It can do so and it should do so if it wants to. (Again, I hate people who compalin that everything should be permitted. This game was created by Blizzard, it's Blizzard's property, and if you don't like Blizzard's rules, don't buy the game).
But... but... but.. if it wants to do so, it should tell so customers who buy the game. I don't think it's fair if you paid money for the game, and then find out you are banned, because of something you did, which at the time of doing you had no reason to suspect was "illegal".
I did not oppose banning in general, only to your suggestion of banningin in this particular case.
And opinion of majority should be a guideline for Blizzard how to set rules, or "level of behavior" as you put it, for the
future. But they can't ban the person only because the majority feels so. He paid for the game, just as this 'majority' did.
Of course if Blizzard wants to make a rule "if you buy this game, remeber, we can ban you anytime if majority says so", they are free to do so. You have been warned, you buy the game at your own risk (personally I'd think twice before buying a game with such a rule).
So in general:
Rules, Codes Of Behavior... etc on Blizzard's private property - YES.
This action (attacking the funeral)
didn't break any rules set by Blizzard, so banning them now - NO.
my two cents.
