Is there a similar policy that might expect editors not to wish ill
will on outcast editors, or to label their work and their clients'
payments as not ethical?  I've asked the WMF to have these posts
removed, but only received a haughty reply from Mike Godwin, telling
me that because this mailing list is not prescreened by the WMF,
Wikimedia has no need or courtesy to delete the posts:

I contend that the list *is* prescreened by the WMF, since I've had
messages blocked before by the Press Officer of Wikimedia UK.  I'm not
surprised, though.  It's the typical "revenge platform" mentality for
the WMF and its cronies.

Revenge begets more revenge.
