No, of course not. I was just being facetious.

If you allowed real insults, it could get out of hand quickly.

well we won't use real insults ever, just insults related to how much you are a jerk, not heavy insults.do you think this matters ?

It's a slippery slope.

Even with that disclaimer in your FAQ, things could get ugly for you.

IIRC, the "awesome" guy said that around 7% of the people they call get upset with hearing they're awesome.

I imagine your numbers, from recipients who don't get the joke or are caught in a bad mood, would be higher.

FWIW, I would never offer a service like this, not only b/c of the potential liability issues, but also for all the bad karma you could stir up.
