A "misbehavior" page (for lack of a better term) seems out of place to me. Call me simple, but list serves are kinda like work or families. Each of us has developed an online personality. We all know each other to some degree, we know each others blessings and foibles (weaknesses), we know we have the potential to be a influential or to be a toad. It doesn't really take any reader very long to get some idea of us, without some list of perceived wrongs. I think most of us try and be the best we can without a need to "win", be "labelled", etc. The "truth" of a person may better be determined by the sum of their posts and the long run relationships. Just like a family, you "get it all" when you "take the person".
