For sure, yes.
The question is what is done about it. The best
solution I saw was benign
dictatorships where someone in power just booted troublemakers, and was
trusted by the rest to not boot good guys, and where social pressure
functioned and kept good guys having really bad days from becoming
troublemakers requiring the boot.
Sadly that does not scale, We now have a thousand of these
individuals, and hence the thread :-)
