You've missed the point of the prior discussion, which was not just that
net.flame was offensive to some, but that (1) it takes up gobs of disk
space, communications time, and the like, and (2) it might at least
theoretically leave a site passing it open to libel suits.  Ignoring
net.flame hardly deals with those two problems.
