Further to my below and previous, this group I attend (or one of them) - whose governing committee are not described as a comparison to this list's minders btw ! - had similar problems with disruptive characters, a la certain personages, and its reaction was to start keeping itself 'within the family', with the result that a once diverse and flowing meeting of like and unlike is ossifying into an ageing and and increasingly sparse population, which will probably soon dissolve altogether. The locked archives I think are a wise move for the present, but I'd be saddened to see it always so.
