I don't see how that would really work. Why is the community here in the 
first place? Because we initiated a project to write an NPOV 
encyclopedia, and have gathered to do so. If we abandon that goal, might 
as well dissolve the community, too, since it will have failed in its 
reason for existence.

Anything to promote a harmonious and effective community that does *not* 
damage the fundamental purpose of the project, on the other hand, is of 
course welcome.
