There's not anything wrong with a community standard that prohibits names in the file, and there isn't anything wrong with a community that allows it. It's just two different choices which are both legitimate.

Fascist pigs. Their aim here: polarize the populace into public *volunteers* who benefit vs. those who detract from the commercial exploitation of politically inspired volunteer labor -- and then develop techniques for marginalizing those whose politics does not align with the goal of exploiting unpaid labor. They deserver worse than "no respect".
