Just because someone *asks* to be insulted doesn't mean everyone on the lists
has to be subjected to the insults, whether in English, French or Easy
Language.
Also the best way to avoid a flame war, is not participate, which would also
benefit the list as a whole.
I would strongly suspect none of the parties involved would ever behave this
way, if they were together in the same room with each other, but would in fact
be very civil with each other. Why not do the same thing here.
