Quite apart from the current controversy, another perspective?
Maybe the list is attracting less participation because of the format. Mailing lists are on the decline, while forums and tweets are more in fashion. An example of a forum: http://www.ibiblio.org/bgreek/forum Betty Chan Date: Fri, 10 May 2013 17:58:47 -0700 From: kwrandolph AT gmail.com To: uhurwitz AT yahoo.com CC: b-hebrew AT lists.ibiblio.org Subject: Re: [b-hebrew] Is the b-hebrew list slipping? Uri: I can see the desires of the moderators who want to allow other voices to be heard, voices that may be excluded from other fora because they are politically incorrect. Yet, at the same time they want this to be a scholarly interchange. That’s a tough balance to maintain.
Unfortunately, perhaps, that means that we as individuals need to learn to police ourselves. One of those is to recognize who is incorrigible and then resist the temptation to correct them when they make off-the-wall statements.

That also spares me of the thoughts of trying to correct them.
Too many strong egos, wanting to be correct? And to correct? How long would they stay if no one but the moderators answered them, and the moderators only to shut down threads where they are the only contributer?
