Quite simple. Someone was full of shit, spreading lies and saying nasty things about a LARGE group of people (specifically, people with depression)
She did this by telling her story of "her tragic experience with depression" and then making all these claims.

Everyone else was all "oh, poor you, here's some hugs"

I saw the shit for what it was, and called her on it.

Everyone else flipped out at me and said I was "evil" and stuff for "attacking her personal story that she trusted us with"

It went back and forth for a while, about 50 people unsubscribed... and then some of them went and made a "new list" which expressly excluded me. It was down to about 20 of them, compared to the 350 on the orginal list though. And even then, they still only get like 3-5 posts a day.

Meh
