Default Insult-Free Monday, December 5, 2005
I think next Monday we should institute a 24-hour insult-free period.

I have to defend Claude in this matter. "Idiot" is excessive. I think one day out of the year the AO can have its traffic reduced by 97%. It'll still be a viable investment for DWS the rest of the year.

24 hours that we can insult people as much as we want, free of any fear of being banned? Works for me.

Time zones could create issues. Does my insult-free 24 hours start and end two hours different from those on Pacific time?

An insult-free period sounds too final; maybe an insult-free semicolon would be better.

I agree on instituting the insult-free period, but when would that period be?
