No, it's not. It is juvenile, and if it doesn't constructively advance
the discussion, needlessly inflames hostile sentiment.

I disagree completely. It weakens the project, by encouraging puerile
behaviour no better than poking an anthill. To remain strong, a
community needs to deprecate such behaviour, not encourage it.
Far better to keep those discussions outside the context of a Debian
discussion forum, if they need to happen at all, instead of playing
games that require attacks upon others. Please stop making the
situation worse.
If you want a way for people to let off steam, find a way to do it
that doesn't involve treating anyone as a “target”.
