Your post would be entirely appropriate if we were discussing the way to set 
up rules of behaviour.
This is not the case now: rules have been discussed, voted, approved, and we 
are now in the enforcement phase.

If I may use an example, smoking is now forbidden on aircrafts. You may 
argue whether this is censoring your rights to smoke, or if this is needed 
to protect the rights of others not to inhale your smoke, but the fact is 
that if you are caught smoking you are fined.
Exactly this is happening to who violates the posting rules in quantity 
(number of posts) or quality (civil discourse).

Best regards
Roberto
