Anyway, it's pretty clear that your basic argument is that this particular assault (punching someone in the face hard enough to draw blood) isn't a big enough deal to get banned from one particular airline, let alone get placed on the no-fly list. Or is it all assaults? What exactly would someone have to do to get permanently kicked off an airline in your opinion?

Besides the fact that you really don't need to punch anybody all that hard to draw blood but NO, I do not think this incident comes nowhere close to be on THE no fly list. In no other place in our society would such a drastic punishment be applied to such a assault.
What i think should have happened I already posted so anybody can misread that as well.

Wouldn't the flight attendant himself be able to sue the passenger for assault and battery?

I believe someone did say that the passenger in question should be banned from all carriers (acting separately but in concert - my reading of that post - but it wasn't DCGooner.

Some read what they think others mean or what they want it to mean. Others read the actual words.

Anyone familiar with airlines knows that there's more than one no fly list. The reader chooses which one to focus on.

Can bad in-flight behavior land you on the no-fly list?
Excerpt from above-linked article:
‘A lot of confusion’
Can disruptive onboard behavior — or even an innocent mistake with a gadget — plunk a passenger on the FBI’s official no-fly list?
“The primary answer,” Bresson said, “is no. The guy who’s had too much to drink and is causing problems or picking fights with people on the plane? That is not going to put you on the (federal) no-fly list. Now, it could get you on the airline’s (banned) list. That’s different.
“The airlines keep their own lists,” Bresson added. And those multiple no-fly lists create “a lot of confusion.”
