My beef is with the method of moderation practiced on the afforementioned
list, as documented at http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/namedroppers.html .

Selectively discarding, ignoring and/or editing posts from people the list
moderator doesn't like, even though they are consistent with the list's
charter, does not, to me, fall within the borders of an acceptable or fair
method of moderation.
