There are much better ways to deal with the issue.

I'm sorry you feel this way and I understand completely where you're coming from. I anticipated certain blacklash warranted or not. I've done a lot of board research and I've seen both sides of this matter and won't argue with your inference that "better ways to deal with this" means the conventional ones of begging and doing things quietly without creating a fuss and asking "please take me off the list" and not calling the secret WM that banned that domain a coward and piece of crap. I get that and I could've done that, you're right. I have even gently been warned "relax", no big deal, etc. But, I think you miss my personal point.
IMHO, a person whom I do not know has caused me to loose potential income, attacked a reputation, casued me to waste time which to me is money, and has done so in secret with a system that never notified me, gave me chance to respond, or offers any way for proper review other than to the webmaster that did it to begin with.
The principle is that I would never allow such a thing to occur in front of me or by someone who was affecting my business in a similar way in the real world. How can I possibly accept this in the virtual? I can not accept someone's hostile actions and then turn around to that WM and say please help me. I physically can't do it. Maybe you are a better person. If I interfere with someone's money and rep then I should expect some repurcussions. Its just that simple.
I'm thinking that maybe you avoided some of the very real deficiencies I pointed out regarding this particular BL system and how it works in favor of not liking my attitude. I'm sorry for that. Its not a matter of KA... its a matter of right and wrong.
I would hope that some people can relate to my point of view and are equally annoyed at the arbitrary administration of this list to be fair and accountable. It doesn't make a difference if you can get off by asking nicely when you shouldn't be on there to begin with.
I'll take it that your post is coming down on the side of not wanting to do biz with me because of my manner. That's unfortunate and saddens me because again I'll admit my attitude can get real bad when teased but only when I'm provoked first. My attitude shouldn't make a hill of beans in this debate. I think it should be about the business points I made.
