I'd agree with you wholeheartedly. I just think that this might be good for
improved communication. But yes, I think that people should be nicer to
each other in general. Whatever's going on here (Lugnet in general) isn't

have lasted this long isn't good. What could get people to calm down?

This wouldn't have to force them. They could enter Lugnet with the full
understanding that this is default (or the other way around?) and the full
knowledge that they can keep it private if so desired.
