Discussion on: What’s in the Works at Stack Overflow: Improving Feedback for All Users

This is a lot of great work and most definitely a step in the right direction, but I feel like there's a small percentage of SO users who are straight-up toxic and will need to be dealt with. In all honesty, it would probably be best to just boot them off the network and let them take their elitism somewhere else, but doing something like that in a democratic and fair process is going to be difficult. But deep down I really do feel like some users harm the site far more than they help, or that the time they spend arguing pedantics could have led to real answers and community discussion taking place instead of derailing everything.
