Speaking freely does not mean you are entitled to having your speech 
published by any forum or mailing list. Having rules and enforcing them 
is good, every project has the right to enforce their rules in their 
spaces.

The only problem here is that the "report" was posted by a known troll, 
so hopefully the outcome of the investigation is

a) nothing, and

b) mail from known anonymous email domains no longer gets accepted into 
mailing lists.
