As I understood it, 2 submitted one or more ideas for performances (featuring himself) to Anthrocon's programming; they declined them; and 2 decided not to attend the convention. That's not being banned from the convention.
I was on the committees for the 1972, 1984, and 1996 World Science Fiction Conventions (all in Los Angeles). Our Programming department planned lots of program events; had lots suggested to us; and got lots of volunteers to present something or to appear on a panel. We accepted some and declined others; but none of the people whose proposals were declined were banned from attending the convention.

That is what happened between 2 and Anthrocon.
