That seems a little harsh. I've heard of "no platform", but that sounds extreme.
What has he been doing, making death threats?

If it's something actionable like that, he should be arrested, but otherwise I
could not support such a petition.

Besides, it seems to me that if he is truly being offtopic, moderation would
solve the problem quite nicely, as unlike spammers, he would go away after 
finding
that his messages weren't even reaching the newsgroup. Why call for a personal
UDP when moderation would work just as well?
