1. It could be "challenged" by positive content.
2. Does it have to be challenged at all?> At some point in time, I might cross the line myself. Not because I'm so inclined, but because I am human, and provocation does have a limit.
Might there be some way to raise the limit?

Maybe not, but that's not their purpose. And restoring order is easier said than done...
