Of course it should *allow* you to do so.  And it does warn you.  Not allow 
you indeed!

People open viruses, help telephone scammers to rob them of their life savings 
etc.  There is a limit to how far the nanny "state" should protect people 
from themselves.  This precise point - that it decides what you must do, 
rather than let you decide, is what I personally dislike about Ubuntu.  
People do utterly idiotic things, and in the free world they have to be 
allowed to do so.
