I don't agree that individual users should set up their filters to ignore fakes. If you are a newbie and come on this list and see all these postings which are rants and mis-information, well, you run away and don't come back.
Many cultures do not like controversial tones, so if the ALAC wants to be progressing, some people should go by common agreement.
I think ALAC has spent too much energy, and has not been able to deliver because of these disturbances.
So if there is a process to review membership to this list, let me know, I have a name to put up for removal. ;)
Two things to consider:
1) Freedom of speech does not bring with it an obligation to listen.
2) Email filters are easy to set up, and don't require any
centrally-imposed action.
I don't know Outlook, but I'll gladly offer help to anyone trying to use
filters in Thunderbird.
