Interesting Suspect, entry hazards are definitively among the most defining and powerful effects in the meta and DD is pretty much the top hazard user in the whole meta. I personally haven't found him to be such a problem, but I suppose it depends on what kind of team it is supporting and if those teams are getting an unfair advantage by running DD instead of another pokemon.
Anyways, I'm not on either side of this ban discussion, but it's an interesting choice that shows that the Council can tackle archtype defining elements. I cannot see this suspect discussion as a proof of the community being "ban happy" in any way or form.
