I'm not sure what the objection to SJW's labelling people is when calling someone an SJW is giving them a label. So it can't be the labelling of people that is wrong it must be mislabelling? You should probably have tried getting that right.
I've not called for any bans either so maybe I'm just a sjw and haven't graduated to capitals yet. But it seems that banning people from ? not sure of the context here so I'll leave open where people are being banned from, or shouting down or labelling which seems weird given that OP is labelling people and people often assign those labels for themselves is pretty forceful given that it's all they have yet it's entirely responsible for the rise of the far right across the world.
This argument appears only to be an accusation of hypocrisy.
That anti-SJWs are guilty of all the things that SJWs do.
Things anti-SJWs have never done:
- tried to get people sacked for their political views
- orchestrated social media campaigns to ruin people's lives
- wrongly targetted people who are not guilty of the things they said they are
- willfully overlooked the facts of science for idelogical ends
- stamped on people's freedom to express their ideas by banning them
Anti-SJWs generally stand for:
- reason
- seeing things as they are, not for how they ought to be
- common sense
- a sense of humour
They stand against:
- hysteria
- institutional bullying tactics
- wrongful accusations
- virtue signalling
For all these reasons, your post is wrong.
You make a disanalogy because anti-SJWs are literally nothing like SJWs.
