I don't think we have a policy which prohibits disruptive behavior in
so many words. Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines speaks of
"problematic or disruptive behavior" and there is [[WP:POINT]],
Wikipedia:Don't disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. Restating
the principle will not make it policy; it is already policy. Stating
the principle just makes it explicit rather than implicit.

Put simply, we are here to work, not to struggle; actions which lead
us down the path of "fight or flight" are not productive (after
Wilfred Bion). I think making these thoughts explicit will be
helpful.

How does this differ from the policy forbidding disruptive
behavior? Doesn't
"divisive and infammatory" constitute a subset of "disruptive"?
