Basically, you're saying that PerlMonks is a small, tight-knit family, and that is the way you like it. Fair enough.

    No. PerlMonks regulars are in no way a family, and far from tight-knit. The most productive regular here is Anonymous Monk, featuring a whopping count of 89949 nodes (24.05.2016 01:15:23 GMT-1 +2h). And a decade ago the "family" of regulars was different.

    You missed my point, which is: battling for something

    a resource that holds a meaning, moves one can play, victory conditions
    is not a good way to mitigate conflicts
    Personalities will always collide; trolling and counter-trolling will happen. To shut them off is to preclude conflict resolution, preclude any meaningful outcome (other than frustration)
    since a battle merely overshadows the underlying conflict, ever so. And who would be those engaged in the battle? The current PerlMonks regulars, of course. What for? There.
