Legal/moral mumbo jumbo. There are group with resources to provide/deny something to other groups, and there are those without that power. Reason for first to do it at first place? Same why dog licks his ass - because he can.

So if admin of his mailing list can exercise his power to make it more useful to majority of readers on expense of few (troublesome) individuals, the better. Its not like anyone is going to gulag if placed on ban list, for fucks sake.
