As a "silent" mod who's only "contribution" is to filter spam out of the list, this is my take on this entire thread. This is just my opinion and should not be attributed to any other moderator.
As moderators we try our maximum to NOT put our "mod" caps on to kick and ban people. People in this list are not children and mods are definitely not babysitters. We are here to keep this list clean of unrelated posts(spam mostly..and we do get LOT of it), not to keep it clean of people's opinions. The objective of putting up various mailing list guidelines are not to curb people's freedom to use a colorful font, but to ensure that your mail is accessible to EVERYONE irrespective of whether they are checking their mail in a browser/phone/emacs/whatever. There might be people who access this list with the help of a screen reader because they might be visually impaired, in which case all pretty fonts are useless to say the least. As the number of people who can read your mail increases your chances of getting back a useful reply increases. This thread should have turned into a very constructive discussion regarding the usability of desktop linux, but instead its just mails asking mods to ban person A or B. Grow up!!
