As an additional matter to consider, in case some members of the mailing
list are not aware (although most probably are), Petite Abeille is not a
person's name, but it means "little bee" in French. I got the impression
this name was chosen deliberately for trolling, to be anonymous and
convey the message that this is a disruptive creature buzzing around and
poking us with its stinger.
A trollish name could be "little wasp". Bees are industrious anduseful insects (honey, pollination). The wasp sting is also morefrequent and more painful than bee sting. ...so, "Petite Abeille"sounds more positive to me :-)
