A pedantic point, which typically argues around the real point. When somebody egregiously violates norms of public discourse with rabble-rousing, slander, deliberate lies and obfuscation, it's reasonable to limit their message's reach with some rules. When they continue despite warnings, then something more has to be done.

Call it what you like; this all had a history and a progression. Not arbitrary or unfair.
