For those of us who do not know the underlying story to this post, could you please explain why you are 'blacklisted'?

Due to personal reasons as well as public ones apparent to anyone who was a referee during FIRST Overdrive, I felt it was no longer productive nor healthy for me to continue to volunteer in this position after 2008.

What happened here?

The blacklist includes a courageous young mentor that has taken it upon herself to be the watchdog for equality in FIRST as well as a friend to all teams.

This phrasing seems to hide a 'coin story': A coin story being one that there is two sides of.
Please tell both sides of these stories, as the current phrasings feel very counterproductive. You may or may not have valid points, I don't know any of these situations personally and FIRST is by no means 100% perfect. However, right now the message you are sending is that you are too hot-headed to be placed in an important role.
This may sound odd, but sometimes the best volunteers are willing to help, rather than wanting/demanding to help.
After all, professional engineers know The Right Way To Do It (TM) and if we knew that we'd be deprived of the educational experience of screwing up. - phrontist [more]
