It makes no sense to use being off-topic as an excuse

subject from discussion. Anything generally relating to how the list is
run is clearly on-topic, and certainly merits being discussed here.
I agree.
Naming specific people still needs to be avoided
unless the result of
the discussion says otherwise.
I am still puzzled by why the persons being moderated (censored) on this
List need to be held so close to the vest; is there a stigma attached to it?
There are some excellent voices on this List, and if some power somewhere
decides one or more of them needs to be censored, I want to know who they
are choosing to shelter me from.
