Unfortunately, it has the major flaw of hinging on expecting people being courteous to everyone, and I honestly think the boat on that idea being viable sailed long ago, likely when we stopped working on the assumption that there were about 150 people in the world and we knew them all by name.
Way to really drive for the basement.
There's just too many of us, can't expect people not to be flaming assholes all the time about about flaming asshole shit. Hey..maybe we can't...but we can still demand it. A good standard isn't judged by how many people break it on account of being assholes who aren't in control of their own shitmouths.
