So far, that isn't happening. If this is the way it's going to be, then it's destined for failure.
Weeellll, that's not entirely accurate. The mods are indeed watching, but the question is really, what should the appropriate action or response be?

The mods do try to be as reasonable as possible, and not too close to the "nuke" button, because we too are, after all, members of the rabble. So my question then, as one rabble member to another...(And I don't necessarily point this question only at you), but if you were in a moderator's shoes, what do think would be the most appropriate course of action to take with this particular thread, and why?

I don't mean this to come across as, "If you think it's so easy, then YOU try it..." Not at all! If this experiment is to work, it would be helpful to get some feedback on how a moderator (any moderator) might act on a perceived rule violation.

Difficulty level: No "flag post" button.
