This is a pretty good question.

This is not a very good answer. If you feel disgust, that's fine. But
why share your feelings with the 1070 other subscribers to this list?
Or at the least, having already let all of those subscribers know your
feelings, perhaps you could then fall silent, as they probably don't
need to be reminded of your feelings in multiple emails.

To be clear, I don't think that such seemingly tangential topics as
the morality of markets and the history of the 20th century should be
marked as "off-topic" for this mailing list. And, I don't necessarily
think you are wrong! If anything, I'm sympathetic to your worldview.
But, you're ruining the party and I wish you'd shut up for a bit and
let other people talk. There are a lot of smart subscribers with
interesting knowledge and ideas that I could learn from. I want to
hear what they have to say.

Regards,

Zooko
