Do you have any sort of intro or "acceptable use policy"? I
would put it in writing, and communicate it to all members
of the list, that they must play by certain rules or get
dropped from the list.
The right to free speech is not an issue here at all, in my
opinion. If someone ranted at me about that, I'd tell them
to go ahead and try to sue; I've never known the right to free
speech to include the right to use someone else's publishing
medium (e.g. a mailing list) against their wishes.
