Why not?
I have the same kind of dust-ups with a character named Walter Lippmann on Marxmail who has set himself up in relationship to Cuba that Yoshie has to Iran.
Walter Lippmann?! And I am being silly?! ;-) Re: Yoshie on Marxmail etc, I have no comments. I am not on the list and have no idea what that was all about. Re: Yoshie on Iran, I have found her to be the most level-headed and thoughtful (and thought- provoking) of contributors on the matter. Its your call of course on what you deem acceptable on your list. The point regarding Yoshie (and my substitution in Carrol's text) is not whether she is banned (or chooses to withdraw) from lists, but the sort of response(s) she seems to evoke (not universal). Anyway, I am sure MP is not going to look kindly (and understandably so) on discussion of individuals on PEN-L, so I will try to refrain from further commentary on this fork of the thread. --ravi
