Well after the recent lengthy discussion and civility etc on this list, and this
I've been thinking about a solution for incivility. Wouldn't a 3RR-like system be good? Users get a warning for a personal attack, and if they do it again a short block. There's obviously the problem that different people regard different things as personal attacks, but it's food for
thought....

No, I don't think so. Short 3RR blocks for incivility would be punitive since the logic would be "For incivility you get a 24H block as punishment". I would posit that a warning to the editor would suffice, then based on the asshattedness of the editor, a preventative block. Unblock as soon as they assert that they will not repeat the offense.
