Reasonably so, in my opinion.

An equally reasonable response.

Not to put too fine a point on things, screw 'em.  You are, I'd say,
entitled to run the list as you see fit; that's what a list owner

can take advantage of the democracy inherent in the Internet, start
their own lists and run 'em any way they please.
