It is well known that English Wikipedia is considered a toxic environment This has been known by all for a very long time. The fact of the matter is that the arbitration committee is not able to do something about it. There are many considerations possible but it is not this committee that is at fault it is the community itself. Many people are indignant that they are told that it has to stop. FRAM may be the "victim" in this but hey why not him? A point is being made.
Yes, the environment is full of toxic people. This has always been true, and yet it exists. You want a revolution to make Wikipedia a friendlier place? It isn't going to happen. There is no such place, at least not with the critical mass of human participants that this project needs. Have you been to a city? Have you seen Reddit or 4chan? Participated in a national election? If so, do you really think that the WMF is going to institute some sort of culture program that will solve problems inherent in human nature?
