I suggest modeling The Chatlist after a normal session of British Parliament where questions are asked of Ministers and  everyone gets yelled at ,but always with a certain level  of decorum . In other words the most egregious of insults must be couched in a layer of high etiquette.

Something like the following. ” Were the Right Honorable Lady to exercise her gifts of observation she might discover that her judgments regarding the staff at Food Lion have been off the mark at best, and tainted with lunacy and delusion at worst. I dare say while the cost of product at Harris Teeter rises above the rest, the excellence of the “Gratis Snacks” scattered about the store far exceeds those of other retail grocery establishments.  I charge The Right Honorable Lady to fully address the following  question. Where else might one obtain a sugar cookie without the pressure of completing a purchase?  With the greatest admiration and respect  for The Right Honorable Lady’s ability to discern truth from fiction, I find that her tale contains facts equal in veracity to the stories I read each night to my children   about the adventures of Winnie The Pooh !”.. Whereupon people could then write in their responses to The Chatlist  and type in Upper Case, “FOUL!”, “SHAME!” , “NOT TRUE!” or “HERE HERE !”..
