It is a well known problem in open lists that they can be 
joined by the destructive as well as the constructive, those
with a fixed agenda as well as those willing to engage,
those attempting to dominate as well as those attempting
to communicate and exchange.

When people abuse openness, their victims resort to 
barriers. Not the best solution, but sometimes the only one
available. My advice is for you to work this out with them,
most of us on this list can not know what to do about it.
