73. The point of the public name posting is transparency: Hosts must block people in the light of day.

In fact, we are thinking of adding the name of the Host that does the blocking, so they are truly responsible for their decision.

FWIW, you can't get blocked from a group if you don't post there. So, if you are opposed to the mission of any group, one option is to simply stay out of that group, and you'll never get blocked.
