I was thinking along similar lines, but how can we make this more
concrete? I'm just curious, since i see having a concrete personal
villain against the way we do things and a bit mean spirited. It takes
away the ability to be an all inclusive community.

Then again, taking the moral low road has been successful for Apple.

curious in what framework we set this in.
