I quite agree. It was too easy (or lazy?) to see the list as being the
go-to place for information about predatory publishers, several of whom –
bona fide academic publishers – are hosted by Ingenta Connect, which gave
rise to some concern as to what exactly the compiler’s parameters were.
Like the DOAJ, we prefer to carry our own vetting procedures when
approached by new publishers seeking our hosting services.

Indeed.  And the lives and livelihoods of some of people who worked for the
publishers that were arbitrarily targeted by the list were affected. There
is no excuse for harassment,  but there must be an acknowledgement
that Beall’s whims had negative consequences, consequences that we
magnified by the importance we collectively gave to the list .

Unfortunately, some of the journals on the list weren't predatory;
yet, in some tenure cases, publications were discounted because the
journal was on the list.  If anyone picks up on this list again, I
hope the first thing the person does is check on the status of every
journal on the list.  This affects people's work lives significantly.
