That type of "speech" falls into harassment, is not protected by free speech laws. Mailing list owner could moderate it to keep nice conversation. But if somebody makes generalizations and speaks in what one thinks is "fascist", that alone, if it is not harassment, shall be protected by free speech rights and their opinions is to be respected. But does fascism fall into the topic of the mailing list? That is the question. Free speech means to respect other people's opinions and rights to express them even if one does not like those opinions. Who is raised in Germany, France and other countries known for suppression of free speech, maybe finds it hard to assume such non-partisan viewpoint and allow others free speech. Mailing list owner can always set rules and say what is allowed or what shall be on topic and thus may moderate.
