I seen strange, inconsistent behavior on the hackerspaces mailing list
as well. It's like they black-ball or moderate messages only from
certain senders -- and do it invisibly so no one knows such activity
is happening.
It's called black-balling. Who knows if you're a woman and get this treatment?
Never needed to use any "pussy pass" to get my messages posted there, Mark. See the hackerspaces general list's archive. We had lots of really horrible conflicts there in a recent past and no censorship until now.
Happy New Year, Mark!!! Late wishes, but they are sincere! :)
