I agree with Biju's point. I would imagine that the reason for a list like
this is that people with a reasonable level of intelligence can air their
views. If we're looking for homogeneity in those views, that should have
been made clear long ago. Since it wasn't part of the charter, too late.

If someone has a nice foaming fit on the list, what's not to like? We can
(a) watch the fun (b) wind up people some more (c) dismiss them all as
"chaddiwallas" (a term that's new to me, but obviously one with potential)
(d) all of the above.

As a well-known extreme rightist from Liverpool once wrote, "Nothing is real
/ And nothing to get hung about." (Are chaddiwallas compensating for not
being well-hung? And are those of us who use that term automatically assumed
to be going commando?)
