I don't have anything administratively to do with the sharedweight
lists, but I do run other lists, so
one of my pet peeves is people sending their administrative requests to
the whole list, which may or
may not do anything and just makes work for the administrators. (Some
software catches admin requests
in subject lines of posts and sends them to the administrators, but
since this went to the whole list I think not.)
To unsubscribe, go to the link at the bottom of every single message
that comes from the list:
http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net
Follow fairly-obvious links to unsubscribe. If you don't remember your
list password (sent to you every single month) you may need to ask for a
password reminder.

Sounds like you're policing what other people choose to spend
their time
on. Oddly enough, I've seen comments like yours countless times
when the
subject lands on sexism, racism, homophobia, and so on. What I find
especially interesting is that these types of comments are louder when
it's a subject that isn't "generally recognized" to be hurtful. In my
own lifetime, I've watched the discussion shift significantly when the
subject is homophobia, and I currently watch appalled as fatphobia is
still considered acceptable (with constant deprecatory comments
similar
to yours).
People whose lives are adversely affected by prejudice don't have the
luxury of walking away from the discussion.
