Maybe that's where Giano's at. But I'll say one thing - you want to increase the civility of this place? You want to stop this same run around? There's less than a dozen people who, if you ousted them tomorrow, these problems disappear. They, unfortunately, are a protected class, however, and won't be going anywhere. So we'll just have to sit and watch other people flame out until the rest of you wake up.
a) How do you select these less than a dozen people? Will everyone - or even a good solid supermajority - agree with you? b) If you ousted the dozen worst troublemakers on the project - by whoever's definition - you also lose a bunch of their friends and a bunch of other people who would be pissed off by such an action. How do you handle that? Do you just write it off as the costs of fixing the place?
