For the main part, no. I don't know who'd be fond of being banished for reasons outside their knowledge/control. I guess I'm just prone to misunderstandings. For example, I got semi-banned from a mall once because I was using my leftover arcade tokens in the fountain; I didn't know people collect the money in America, I just thought it was for making wishes (was worth it, I'm grateful mine came true though). My most famous ban on the internet was from an art website because I made a subreddit dedicated to it and they considered it a trademark violation. The ban became famous because at one point the guy in charge of the website tried to raid it and Reddit basically poofed his squad of fifty something people. He then forced their Discord server to require every member be kicked and invited back in on the condition that each member can give details about their other social media accounts so they could be tracked, even though I never wanted to rejoin their website or server anyways. I'm certainly amazed at myself, but that's not exactly pride.
