<p>Turning this around, why should users who have been blocked from editing for good reason be able to send new OSM messages, raise OSM issues or comment on diary entries?</p>
<p>There have been examples of all three recently.  To be clear, I don't think that moderators need access to PMs - but if someone has been blocked for personal attacks then it probably isn't a good idea to let them contribute in other ways - e.g. by writing diary comments on a diary entry by a person who has been a subject of a previous personal attack by blocked user.</p>
