It's fairly simple to produce a justification of the decision. I can
think of several ways of doing so. One is through an appeal to some
notion of community health improvement from impeding toxic contributors.
In this strategy, the argument would be something pertaining to how
allowing these toxic posters free rein on the mailing list would
contradict the core tenet of an open and inclusive community. There are
several more ways to rationalise the decision.

But you won't buy into either of those purported vindications of this
decision. (I won't either.) So don't bother requesting them. Another
aimless (and thus endless) back and forth in Jackal language isn't
likely to achieve anything worthwhile beyond what the initial exchange
achieved.
