Staying off-topic... I don't think anyone is advocating the total disbandment of Moderator intervention (or extrapolating that to 'we don't need a police force' either)... my interpretation of what Wendy is saying (based on, ah, what she's written) is that peer intervention/discussion/feedback about inappropriate behaviour is PREFERABLE to relying on an authorised power to intervene. I don't think there's a reasonable argument against that point of view. If your neighbour is playing corporate rock at 3am, it's usually best to ask them nicely to turn it down before calling the cops. Resolving that issue through reasonable discussion rather than the threat of punitive action from an authority figure is going to be more satisfying too. But if they just change it to loud hip hop, yeah, call the cops and hope the capsicum spray delivers the message.
