Just because a pilot removes himself or herself from the SA list does not mean they are going to stop answering the calls from scheduling.

The few I know that regularly answer the phone do so for their own reasons, they understand they are not seen in a positive light by the rest of the pilot group but they don't really care. It is what it is, they are operating per the CBA (other than one being on the list of SA while on reserve, that should be stopped in FLICA immediately).
The folks that you're describing will also be willfully violating the Contract when they knowingly exceed the JRM limitation. Really, it's just part of their character and makes it very difficult to have a unified effort.
