Right. By the way, banning everyone from an organization from using a
mailing list: that's not a violation of any law, either. It would also not
be a violation of any law to notify administrators of other mailing lists
what a certain organization tends to use mailing lists for. This will also
be perfectly legal.
You address is on a public mailing list, which anyone in the world
can
contact.
A "public mailing list" is not a synonym for being open to "anyone in the
world can" to send any message, on any topic, to the mailing list. I'm
wondering what you would think about me sending a picture of my cute kitty-
cat to this mailing list. Would that be appropriate? How come? After all,
this is a public mailing list, and that's the only justification you offered
for your action, quote: this is a "public mailing list". There were no
further constraints. So, if this is good enough for your email, it should be
good enough for my email too, with a picture of my kitty-cat.
