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.
Peer pressure is needed. It could be as simple as "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything." When I went to Boot Camp 1/2 my company was from farm country, the other half from Harlem. We learned to respect each other in that nine weeks.
