The Tor mailing list has a defined topic. Quashing off-topic discussion isn't what most normal people call "censorship".
It would be the same situation if a bunch of people took over this list with penis enlargement ads, offshore casino ads, and other stuff completely off of the topic. In fact, I believe most such spam is already being moderated--sorry, I mean "censored"--already.
