Maybe you meant to say "request"?
I am not a native speaker of English, and I am
probably wrong about this, but I thought that
'insist' is justified, given how strongly some
people feel about it. But you are right, my
dislike for the position may have tainted my
formulation. Hell, if anyone claims that I'm a
saint, I will be the first to laugh.

Well, I guess you guys are missing the point.
I do not _want_ castles to be changed...
So if crusaders were demanding and USING ALL
CAPS and saying 'We have the right, we are
paying customers!!!!!!!!' I would not be unduly
concerned

[Edit] Seriously, though, you guys are right.
It would have been better if I had used 'suggest'
instead of 'insist'. But it is not easy to
prevent your personal feelings from spilling over
and at least slightly influence the way you
formulate the questions.
