Could LFGSS still work with a "no asshole" rule?

And now we're big, and the degrees of separation has crept up to 6 (the maximum), and suddenly that energy feels like it's gone, and that we're blocked by the cynicism and collective apathy. The good people are still here, but the ass-hatery is also here that acts as a blocker to doing stuff. It's far more common to read a thread and see a sarcastic and rude retort than anything helpful or constructive... it's far more common to see a hundred pics of popcorn and pie than it is to find these great threads of people helping each other and then detecting a larger problem stepping up to work out what to do about stuff.

So the size makes it feel like the energy to work together achieve stuff is much reduced (or massively diluted), but the energy to slag each other of seems to have increased.

Ah yes, that's exactly what I meant to address by my suggestion. Only saw your post after I posted.
