Yet you want the benefits of the outside world - benefits like this
mailing list.  Can't have it both ways.

...no.  Nobody has a "right" to be on the net (which is what I assume
you mean by "be a netizen").

Even if you did, you are forgetting another one of the prime principles
of the Classic Net: politeness.

Politeness includes things like not raking a volunteer over the coals
for not continuing to provide something for free in quite the same way
he used to, or perhaps not the way you, armchair-quarterbacking, think
he ought to.

In my opinion you deserve to be dropped from the list for the egregious
rudeness your message exhibits.  Nobody, possibly excepting Jay, has a
*right* to receive cct{alk,ech} mail.
