And the negative reaction on a forum to someone doing that would be much
more visible, and much more effective at getting them to not do something
so destructive again, on an appropriately-designed interface than it is on
a mailing list.  People suppressing opinions they don't like (in the
mailing list case, by fillibustering endlessly) is very much an existing
problem.
