Except that you could argue that the government is censoring it for the

censorship refers to one group cutting out or blocking material from
coming into contact with another group, but you might be able to argue
that it doesn't _have_ to be an outside force. Still, in any kind of
normal use, it would be.

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.
At least in this newsgroup it's easy to get into peoples' killfile. Just
disagree with your beloved deitys, Andrei and W. A good way to piss them
off is to mention dmd's broken support for tuples or .stringof, critizise
the featuritis and language inconsistency, support Tango, or know
something about functional languages.
Walter is a very reasonable person to talk with whether you agree or
disagree with his point of view. He never gets angry at anyone and he'll
have a discussion even with the worst troll if he's got a tiny potential
of an interesting point to make in the discussion.
That's my experience at least.
He wouldn't even ban superdan, which frankly I would had i been in
Walter's shoes.
