I wouldn't think of "flexible" (that also exists in French) for docile. My dictionary says "docile", "tame", "submissive" in English. I think they're all better than flexible.
Actually, both terms are absolute opposites. That's what Farmer wanted of course. You should just try to do the same opposite in English.

yeah i agree .. offence in english can be another word for a crime, and docile is actually used in english a lot. it means just as you said, tame or submissive .. 'peacefull' maybe.
i basically just tried to find a word that i could stick with offensive, and actually make sense. lol .. again from what you have written, i think it is correct.
