Only ban the ones who use their real names that can be easily linked to their PS accounts?
Pokerstars is a private business.
Nobody has a right to be there.
By playing there, you do have a right to a fair game, and to cash out your money at any time.
But they can refuse service to you at any time for any reason.
If you are a customer they don't value too much in the first place (i.e. a winning player), you'd have to be an idiot to antagonize its managers by telling people to do physical harm to them (even if joking).
Would you write such a thing about the manager of a restaurant you frequent? A nightclub you like to visit? Obviously not. And if you did, nobody would have any sympathy for you if you got banned for doing so.
Same thing here.
It's common sense.
If you want to keep playing on Pokerstars, don't tweet that you'll pay someone to kick Lee Jones in the nuts.
Jason thought he was being a rebellious, funny guy, and now he's paying the price for it.
