Points taken Avri. I certainly wouldn't advocate spending an excessive amount of time on this. If we can't come up a relatively simple procedure including fairly simple appeal process, then we probably should just wait until a problem occurs and react. The difficulty with that is that it takes longer to deal with a problem if there is one.

For those of us who have been around for awhile, we have definitely encountered situtations where group members were not constructive but rather were disruptive.
Over two decades in the IETF certainly taught me that. But it also taught me that often the judgement between constructive and disruptive was subjective and a matter of 'political' perspective. It also taught me that unless there are formal processes and procedures as well as levels of appeal, the solution is often far worse then the infraction.
Unfortunately the time spent developing such procedures is also often far more destructive and time consuming then just learning to ignore the trolls.
