I gave a little months ago.

I've considered it, and rejected it.

Work, to do what, exactly? IMHO, it would unfairly enrich or reward those who have violated the basic premises upon which this board was supposedly built. Those who have striven to maintain civility may certainly feel somewhat dismayed to see their efforts unrecognized and unappreciated, even if only by implication.
