I think Alan's getting the fuzzy end of the lollipop here. In all fairness
(and I'm not trying to put words in his mouth) I think he was simply trying
to advise that discussion lists need to stay within certain parameters in
order to stop going off topic and thus risk descending into slanging
matches. Something that's been known to happen on other, less distinguished
lists.

So, Alan did nothing wrong but perhaps it is something that needs to be
discussed further? For a decision to be made either way?
