Hmmmm. This is not the only point. There is an increasing anonymity in 
big communities. Not knowing an editor means you are not necessarily 
behaving as gently or approaching a conflict so easily.

I think this could be improved by providing new means for editors to get 
to know others, in particular those contributing in other areas. Ideas 
such as the facebook have certainly helped.
