All human systems of sufficient size and significance need a means of protection from "abuse of process". This IETF process uses email and thus needs protection from the abuse thereof. In my opinion, the IETF method of deciding to bar people from various mailing lists is fine and the IETF is pretty liberal in this regard, allowing people to continue to post who would be barred in other groups.
