whether they deserve it is irrelevant.
i dont see the beneficial result that defacing their name can have on the
list, only to cause confusion.
now if we were an email client list, with discussions about which clients
were better/worse than others, then i might be able to see how your
name-calling could influence someone not to use the client (but personally
i would just call it what it is and then just go on to describe why said
product sucks)
