Right, that's not the policy.   If that were the policy, a number of notorious abusers of the mailing list would still have posting privileges.

If the first message had been the beginning of a conversation, I would have taken it a lot differently, but the way it was dropped on the list with no discussion, it just looked like an attempt to start a massive flame war.   That's exactly the sort of thing that the sergeant-at-arms is supposed to deal with.
