I'm nitpicking here, but here goes anyway. (my emphasis added)

no one should be treated any differently than the next, in this context at least.

Those two things don't mesh, unless it's a more general complaint about the ban process itself - but in the majority of instances where I've seen someone get banned, that process makes sense.
Also, generally speaking (not talking about MVPs), leaders and figureheads should be and many times are held to higher standards than others, in part precisely because of the "leaders get away with stuff" perception (true or not, and all too often true) that people develop otherwise.
