From my experience with this mailing list (and others hosted by FSFE), I
would absolutely have expected such an invitation to have been approved
by the list moderators. I see that in the past, two kinds of messages
have been rejected:

* Messages that contain offensive language, and
* Messages that violate the privacy of others (e.g. forwarding priate
emails).

I have actually experienced FSFE as an organisation that handles dissent
in a very constructive manner. On the other hand, I see a fundamental
difference between voicing dissent on one side and personal attacks,
false claims, and conspiracy theories on the other.
