As of this writing the BOG block list includes 105 members. If grantcart deleted 14 people who'd been PPR'd, then, before he wielded his broom, there were 119 people blocked from the BOG, of whom 105 had not been PPR'd. In other words, of the DUers who were on the BOG blocked list as of yesterday, more than 88% were still welcome to participate fully elsewhere on DU.

This calculation doesn't take into account PPR'd posters who were unblocked in earlier cleanups.

If we had all the data needed for a full statistical analysis, I'm sure we'd find a positive correlation. To do a really meaningful test, however, we'd need to exclude the people who'd been PPR'd solely or primarily because of the same post(s) that got them blocked here, because in those cases there's a correlation but it's tautologous rather than proving anything.

What we know for sure is that more than 100 DUers have been blocked here without also getting into any major trouble anywhere else on the site.
