If they can be taught, yes.
If they are SlimVirgin or Cyde or MONGO, etc, don't even make the attempt.
Enforced education can do wonders. Ever watch Dog Whisperer? Perhaps we should take that approach, and project calm, positive energy at Linda, Ben, and MONGO. If they get out of line, we'll do that Cesar Millan "sssst!" thing he does, this hiss/spit correction.
Linda: "WP:ATT is to BLP is to ignore my COI over Julian and Kadafi--"
WR: "SSSSSST! No, Linda. Ssst."
Linda: "Sorry, I'll no longer flagellate my fellow man over my own insecurities."
Cyde: "Erasing the userbox, erasing the userbox, no one can have fun--"
WR: "SSSSSST! No, Ben. Ssst."
Cyde: "Sorry, I will be a decent human being from now on."
MONGO: "TROLLS TROLLS STALKERS ED TROLLS BUSH 9/11 *foams at mouth*"
WR: "SSSSSST! No, MONGO. Ssst."
MONGO: "TROLLS TROLLS STALKERS ED TROLLS BUSH 9/11"
OK, in some cases it may take more positive reinforcement than others.
