Arnaud:

The moderators are only human, subject to error and failure. Furthermore,
they are trying to thread the fine line between allowing alternate but
legitimate ideas to be voiced and censoring that which is irrelevant to the
list. Further, they try to keep this list from descending into a shouting
match.

Like you, I think they err on the side of allowing people in who do not
follow list guidelines, which sometimes results in Hebrew questions being
drowned out by irrelevant blather. Would you prefer the opposite, that only
approved, mainstream ideas be presented?

I am learning to ignore certain people except when one of their posts gets
significant attention. Attention by another person I am learning to ignore
doesn’t count.
