List managers are free to run their lists as they see fit.  That includes
acting as autocrat if they feel it's appropriate -- which I do.  If people
don't like how I run my lists, nothing is preventing them from starting up
their own list with a management style they're more confortable with.

I'm subscribed to a number of lists that are wonderful "playgrounds" but 
which have little to do with their chartered topic.  Seems to me that we
could use a few more autocrats out there.
