Cliquishness doesn't bother me. I've been in fandom a long time, and graduated from high school even longer ago.
I was just under the (apparently mistaken) impression that OTL was comics-only.
Not that it was unwelcoming/mean/bitchy, just that movieverse was not in the rules and therefore not allowed. No value judgements.
I'm not a model for blindly following rules, but I also know better than to post fic to lists that I'm told don't allow it (or a particular genre of it).
I never followed up on it because I was doing fine with XMMFF, the old WaR, WRB, X-fiction, and the two multi-fandom lists I'm on. I didn't see a need to add another list.
