Debian as a project has a right to block your mails so they are not
dissemminated via our servers.

Obviously false.  You do not have a right to be the most obnoxious person in
your place of work who drives other people to quit, and people have a right
to demand a work environment free from harrassment.

And why are we having this conversation?  You're not a Debian developer, you
told Debian you were leaving because you disagreed with our policies, and
you don't get a vote.  Do you think you're persuading someone here?
