With respect to 'innocents' getting admin action - my experience is that the only way to get admin action is to fall foul of the civility rules.
We aren't supposed to post uncivil replies to uncivil posts.
And that applies to all of us.
That being said - if someone does make an uncivil reply to an uncivil post they will only be blocked for a maximum of 4-8 weeks. Enough to make people think about it before doing that again?
If we just ignored uncivil posts / posters I really do think they would be more inclined to stop it / to go away.
It is giving some people the reaction they are looking for that encourages them.
