I do hope it's that easy, or at least, we can keep making it look that easy :)

In the last 3 years with Node, I've seen it go through some definite changes, and we have had to respond to those. I suspect that will continue.

Gotta agree too, I'm not sure I would use the word "easy" though, as it sure is a simple rule to follow - be nice, continue to be nice, zero-tolerance for not nice behaviour - however, simple things are often the hardest to implement - as you gotta be drawing the line somewhere, which as was mentioned, if one thing slips through, a lot more could slip through - this seems to be a big misconception with society in large, lack of enforcement of an ideal, does not mean that the ideal doesn't matter and shouldn't be respected - that to me seems like the vehicle for these small things to slip through, and a lot of similarity of your original post - how can we make people feel empowered to act correctly when misfortune occurs instead of letting it slip by? be it a conference, a meetup, an IRC chat room, or any circumstance.
