To review the bidding: It was your choice to leave the
club, just as, earlier, it was your choice to blow up
something that was a feud between two people into an issue
that WSFA was forced to deal with.  That escalation should
never have been allowed to happen at that First Friday
meeting; a disagreement between two members should never
have become club business.  I certainly would have objected
to consideration if I'd been there.

Meanwhile, you don't own the name WSFA, the club does.
WSFA therefore can, and should, host its own mailing list.
As for what you perceive is contempt for you, you will note
that the club has not insisted that you remove "WSFA" from
the list that you, as a non-member, maintain.  Other than
asking you to put the list in your own domain rather than
WSFA.org, you've been left well enough alone.  If there is
any contempt, it appears to be from you.
