Hello,
As far as I know, the Wikimedia organizations up to now have never
undertaken serious steps to analyze and tackle aggressive behavior.
One idea would be to engage a social psychologist or therapist or
mediator who can teach Wikipedians at conventions. Of course, the most
extreme people will not attend but many good willing editors - I am
sure, the vast majority - could need advice how to behave in difficult
situations and with difficult people.
Gerard is absolutely right, such reports in the media are dangerous
for us especially when they support perceptions the reader has already
made by himself.
Kind regards
Ziko

Hoi,
They are national radio and television. They are particularly influential
with the young.
Thanks,

Dit is niet nieuw, natuurlijk.
I've lived in the Netherlands for a year, now, and I've never heard of
BNR—but then, I don't listen to the radio; I still get most of my news
from teh internets and the satellite dish I have pointed at the BBC.
How influential are they?
Austin
