>>>Wouldn't the simplest solution be for everyone to follow Netiquette
immediately?<<<

The issue is complicated by the fact that it is possible to use Netiquette
in a very provocative and passive-aggressive manner. If someone doing this
evokes puerile postings from you, filter them. It works fabulously. You
become your own moderator. You take responsibility for yourself. You become
empowered. You abdicate the victim role. You take the bull by the horns. You
jump off the wheel of samsara. You rent the veil in two. You exorcise your
demons. You are redeemed. Saved to the uttermost. Healed.
