I write to a list - I expect my responses come from the list, especially if I sign up for a daily digest. Instead I am bombarded by hostile individual responses.
The responses have come from the list, although some people might also have sent you private responses. You apparently do not understand how this process works, and have either misconfigured the software so that it responds in an inappropriate manner, or the software is not capable of being configured to respond in a correct way.
In any event, it certainly did the wrong thing in this case.

It's very unpleasant to be someone responsible for administering a Mailman mail server when there are clueless users who subscribe and inflict their effluent on everyone on the list.
