I completely disagree.  We need passion but not that kind of abusive behaviour.  That simply makes people not want to contribute to the discussion.  I, frankly, will not be a part of any kind of list that would allow that.
 
I like Evan's & Luc's idea of a professional code of conduct that is enforceable - actually, much more than the moderation approach that I just suggested.  We absolutely need to do something about this situation.

Passion is precisely what we need, and I saw no incivility.
