But they should really explain which lists are public and which go to a
restricted circle of people. The real problems happen when people make
inflammatory comments to public lists.

Some users really want confrontation - i.e. they want to make a point
that they won't accept "censorship" etc. so if somebody requests some
deletion, they will make it a point of honor not to let this happen.
This degenerates into confrontations, threats and all.

Plus, again, if the problems are with privacy issues, writing to a
public list is the opposite of what the user expects.
