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.
