I can't agree with the "this is a firing offence" approach.

We're a community, no one is employed by anyone else here; we work
together because we have to and we have to figure out how to get along.
We work via consensus, not appeals to authority.

However - language like that can _and has_ driven away valuable and
long standing members of our community, so people will feel strongly
about this.

Hillf, I'm going to share a story off list.
