Handling pie fights

I usually don’t delve into the comments at dailyKos or StreetProphets. Enough gets posted on their main pages, and I just don’t have the time to invest in the community that way. I suppose I read these sites more as a kind of news source. But clearly something’s been going on in the comments at StreetProphets, something strong enough that the main page felt it important to reiterate community norms. And these norms are worth reiterating more broadly, and are an example of the kind of norms that evolve over time in communities that are really struggling to BE community.
