To take this personally, I'm always complaining about rudeness, but I'm
plenty rude myself. In fact, a good part of why I did a fork was routine
rudeness from Larry Sanger and a few others that no one seemed to ever do
anything about. I've managed to keep a somewhat favorable eBay reputation
though; partly cause I don't enter negative feedback unless what happened
was important. (Retaliatory negative feedback is routine on eBay so warning
others needs to be more important in a particular instance than taking a bit
of punishment for speaking up)

I think your point is a good one. A poorly designed system would give
rise to fear and paranoia. But, I think that at least some people
really *ought* to have a simple check on their behavior, a way for
them to look at a number and say "Oh, I've been rude." I think some
people are simply lacking in the social skills to know about such
things for themselves.
