Because (i) I'm not involved in BLAG, BLAG just happens to use
linux-libre (that I am involved with) and offer resources to help me
maintain it, and (ii) such a list already exists.

Moo.  Who's the bully here, threatening to take things up to my
manager who had explicitly approved of my use of the Red Hat e-mail
address to promote software freedom even in Fedora lists?

Suggestion: how about you demand those who support *your* point of
view to shut up, so that I will then not have to keep correcting them
to provide Fedora users with at least a balanced view?

It says a lot about a person when he demands with such force that only
those who oppose his point of view shut up.
