I agree, DavideG, that I don't want that to happen here but I'm not too worried about it. I remember a few years back when I found myself embroiled in a most unpleasant and ongoing brouhaha here, to the point where I seriously considered leaving entirely. The situation ended eventually with abject apologies all around and the departure of one of us. (And no, I am not speaking of the Gibson)
