More like Mr. Boyce just wanted order restored to a mailing list he
enjoyed reading, that had been made unusable by the volume of off-topic
or garbage posts over most of a month.

Any project like Tor relies on its fair share of volunteers to make
stuff happen. That doesn't necessarily mean those volunteers are on the
government payroll, if anything it would mean quite the opposite. It's
also unnecessarily pejorative to call that "dirty work." I really think
all the majority of the tor-users list readership wants, is an on-topic
list. That's what Mr. Boyce gave them. Their list, their rules. If you
don't like it, start your own list with whatever topic you want.

With freedom of speech, comes freedom to decide what to ignore. To flood
a mailing list with off-topic and garbage posts, intrudes upon the
freedom of speech for the participants of that list who want to discuss
the named topic.
