I would say the homepages of the oandp-l forum covers this pretty well, see:

This does not give an exhaustive listing of topics that may or may not be
discussed, but it does impose limits, both on contents and on form.
For instance, I recognise, as probably most of us do, that to people who
use a prosthesis the way they are referred to (e.g. patient, client etc.)
may have an emotional bearing. Still the issue of how to refer to the
receiver of such a prosthesis falls hardly withing the scope of this forum.
Furthermore, as stated on the homepage, list members may be expected to
express themselves courteously. If one repeatedly can not abide by this
simple rule I would be in favor of having him or her removed from the list.
