The rptrs on final approach to hsv were told to go around with no explanation and no apparent traffic. The pilots believe the controller's reason was purely punitive.

Narrative:
Do not understand hsv tower/approach's logic in cancelling landing clearance and sending us back to approach. We were fully configured, on short final, in severe VFR, clearance to land and no traffic in sight or in the pattern or on the ground. It seemed that their reasoning was purely punitive in nature when a simple call to approach/tower after landing would have been sufficient.

Narrative: DO NOT UNDERSTAND HSV TWR/APCH'S LOGIC IN CANCELLING LNDG CLRNC AND SENDING US BACK TO APCH. WE WERE FULLY CONFIGURED, ON SHORT FINAL, IN SEVERE VFR, CLRNC TO LAND AND NO TFC IN SIGHT OR IN THE PATTERN OR ON THE GND. IT SEEMED THAT THEIR REASONING WAS PURELY PUNITIVE IN NATURE WHEN A SIMPLE CALL TO APCH/TWR AFTER LNDG WOULD HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENT.
