 - I dont want to 'sue' someone from using my work in a way that I do
not approve of
I have an obligation, as a creator, to make sure that any conditions
and warrants
about usage of my work are explicitly expressed upfront - that would
make law enforcement much easier.
As I want to grant 'upfront' permission in general, I also want to
make explicit 'upfront'
what invalidates the permission given upfront above

I cannot sue someone for using my content illegally when I license it
under terms that
allow them to do so 'freely'. Someone selling weapons on the internet,
may well be doing so 'legally'. I do not want them to use any of my cc
work under no condition whatsoever

not really - I simply dont want my work used for certain purposes,
while i want to make it free and acessible for everything else

yes I agree- I also know that free licensing is not the best choice for all 
work

I think every license would benefit from having a +E flavour
