Ah, come off it. Lists are essentially private clubs with varying conditions for membership, in this case pretty open. Some years ago I kicked the Malecki character off the m-fem list (for a post on ball-breaking), & went away for the weekend. Malgosia was left tending shop & she kicked several more off for squawking that weekend. Good riddance. It's really asinine to complain about the parameters of any given list.
