WI DNR is blacklisting chronic complainers and activists in Wisconsin

What the hell is this? Unbelievable.

http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/dnr-blacklisted-16-citizens-viewed-as-pests-chronic-complainers-b99677568z1-370328601.html

"The state Department of Natural Resources blacklisted a group of 16 citizens and activists with complaints about how the agency managed wildlife and administered clean water and other rules.

Being put on the "do not respond" list was supposed to mean that going forward agency staff would not respond to the complainants except for those responses required by the state's open records law."

is a Kewaunee County small farm owner who has raised awareness of and questioned the factory farms in the county.

This is the mess (and note that one of the "complainers", Lynn Utesch, is quoted here):
