I agree with SorinN. Cory, evidently you are a very upfront, confrontational
guy, and that's good, but there comes to a point where you are just plain
rude.
Which was fine when you were one voice among many on this list, but you
became defacto community leader for this list, and the only member to openly
support you on this list was me, and then Kenneth Wilmer in irc.
In this particular case your best response would be:

"Although this project uses this list to announce additions, please note
this is not an official ubuntu project and is created by likeminded people
for likeminded people, a subset of the ubuntu art community. Feel free to
begin your own project with your own goals, their are probably many
community members which watch this list, which feel the same way"

You seem to have forgotten the appointed role as community leader.
You shouldn't make people frightended to speak, or frightened to reply for
fear of not matching your fascistly applied posting rules.
Top posting is annoying yes, but should you be so cold in your advice?
You should consider your role aswell as chastising people for not meeting
theirs.
