I agree with Seth.
Most of the "flame-fest" threads mentioned, while mostly boring,
idiotic, and several other adjectives
I can think of... they do, on occaision, produce *something* of value,
albeit rarely.
Shall we ban idiots, simply because they're moronic?
How about we just shoot 90% of the world and be done with it?
The real question becomes, is who is an idiot?
There are certainly people who are trouble, but how long until a policy
such as this just turns into a witch hunt?
You don't like someone? Great, just bait them into breaking the policy
and get them kicked out!
If you don't like a thread, just ignore it. That's a lot less work than
creating an overly elaborate code of conduct nobody is really going to
follow anyway.
I compare this to talking to a boring person at a party. Are you going to
stand there and complain how boring they are, or go find someone more
interesting to talk to?
