Ah, but the emails in question contained diffs which they claimed shewed that the administrators in question were "abusive". Should those have been let through?
It's a judgement call. I trust your judgement of the situation. This mailing list isn't the place for complaining about abusive admins, anyway.
My understanding was that when they are blocked they are told to come to this list if they want to take their complaint further. Is this wrong?
This would seem to account for the fact that most of these complaints are from people who had not previously participated in the mailing list. How else would we end up with them?
