I've been told that 'bouncing' disconnects can result from a client trying to simultaneously join too many channels at once - IIRC by RichiH of freenode or another op in an unrelated channel we moderate. I would consider this type of temporary ban for joinspam to be fairly routine across freenode, and because of the technical issues of joining too many channels, it can even help users to successfully connect to the network.
In general I agree that #fedora could be friendlier - but IRC for many people is a place where they can anonymously and offensively troll others. A stern operator position can be crucial to maintaining an effective channel in certain situations.
