As the list is currently configured, with a two-way gating to the
unmoderated internet newsgroup soc.genealogy.medieval, it is an open
list. This means that no one can be excluded from the list, whatever
the provocation. Short of changing the status of the newsgroup, the
status of the mailing list is not likely to change, as it would require
breaking the gateway, and requiring those interested to subscribe to
both.

What can be done is to shun the abusers of the list. "They" came to
this group in order to pick a fight, and has made no substantive
contribution. Fortunately, the target has chosen to ignore the
insults. We should all do the same o "They" and anyone else who abuses
the list.
