I doesn't appear to me that someone has questioned Jason's "right" to
express offensive and insulting opinions.  In fact, I think Mr. Sullivan

Do you fear that saying "it would be great if we could stay away from
comments like this..." could discourage the posting of insulting statements
on the qlist? I certainly hope it has that effect.
