Just go to another list -- no one is forcing you to remain here if you don't trust the list administrators. Or start your own list with your own rules. No one's stopping you from doing that either.
it doesn't work like that. I like this list and I do not want it to become like some lists I used to be a member of - with a bunch of egoistic admins who spend their time being heavy-handed with members.
Loosen up at little. If we have survived for many years on this list then rest assured that the admins are quite liberal.
And kicking people from the list is not death sentence. They can always rejoin under another id. It is not like the old days when email ids were difficult to obtain and expensive.
Kicking a member out is insulting and demeaning and should be used only as a last resort when everything else fails. An email ID is not just a group of text characters, it is an individual's identity, it represents his/her self.
