The last post in that thread wasn't blocked because of its content, it was blocked because the thread itself was blocked. I could try to reply to it now with a little paragraph about sunshine and rainbows and it wouldn't go through. Nobody read that message and made the decision not to post it to the ML, at least as far as I can tell.
It looks to me like Austin did exactly what he should've so I'm not sure why you're implying he made an incorrect decision. Exactly what did he do wrong in your opinion?

Actually, does it matter? List moderation and killfiling happens what, once a year? I see no problem with how it occurred this time, nor any reason to change the process for the future. Stevertigo is more interested in the debate, in my opinion, than any particular outcome. But foundation-l and wikien-l aren't debating clubs; folks cite the tenor of discussion, especially the ego-fueled point-by-point debate, as a common reason for unsubscribing.
If you find that people don't take your side even after you have "utterly destroyed them, point by point" then perhaps you should pick a new approach.
