It is more a matter of editors taking back the wiki

advocate not enforcing civility rules and expect the arbitration

committee and you will find that its original purpose was to deal with
gross violations of Wikiquette, see

material has not been contributed because of his well documented
behavioral problems? In my opinion, we need to set clearer rules on
Wikiquette and be serious about enforcing them, with a well-defined
protocol of warning, temporary banning, permanent banning etc. Maybe
there could be a 5-10 member Wikiquette "committee" where violations
could be reported and decisions would be made by voting."

These comments are refreshing, and the suggested actions would have an
enormous impact on the quality of collaboration in the Project. All healthy,
constructive collaboration must include healthy, constructive dialogue.
