This is getting somewhere--now if we can come up with a positive, rather than negative name, we'd be perfect.
Pretty much the best kinds of project names are ones that are either expressly positive (i.e. their name assumes good faith, doesn't create an us/them dichotomy), or failing that are ironicly ugly (like "bureaucrat", "benevolent dictator", or "spelling nazi" or "mediation cabal").
Well, for the record, I?m working wit ha few people on [[WP:CUV]] (NOT CVU) not looking for repalce CVU, since that is NOT our goals, but rather to provide an alternate venue and central resource without the fighting imagery
