I agree. I think it is a natural consequence of the censorship. If you censor comments and ban users that dissent people take the hint pretty quick that diversity of opinion isn't welcome and look elsewhere.
The one hope I have for this whole thing being resolved is that historically there are examples in Bitcoin of groups that were once very influential being superseded. Most notable is probably Ghash.io which had so much hash rate at the height of their power that people were afraid they could perform a 51% attack and that Bitcoin was doomed. Today they don't even register a percentage point.
