Because this is not a dispute resolution mailing list, as it once was. The dispute resolution mailing lists - are now closed-source.
I've been on this list for years, I don't remember it ever being a DR list.
It is a general purpose list to discuss any matter regarding the English Wikipedia, including dispute resolution. About the only thing that will get you in real trouble is trying to discuss the content of an article, which get a "to the talk page" response.
DR in the abstract is fine (that's what we're talking about now), but bringing up specific disputes usually results in being told to take it to the appropriate DR forum, whether they are content disputes or user conduct disputes or any other kind of dispute (except possibly policy disputes).
