Mark,
Are you saying that rather than (A) banning jerks, we should rather (B) simply
revert their "work" and drive on without them?
If so, this sort of combines what Jimbo had said before about just letting
them have their way for a day -- with the anarchists ideal of "not exercising
power".
But do you think edit wars won't mushroom out of control? Should I go back,
say, 15 edits ago (to yesterday's "clean" version) and edit that? I
can't
figure out whether that's bending over to accommodate anti-social behavior --
or that's anti-social in itself.
One approach is go back to the "clean" version and then incorporate
edits
from the later versions that have value into that. It's an effective method,
and not anti-social.
