I think we should not shy away from the subjective nature of it. Nobody is expected to get along with everyone. That is how it should be on here.
In a shameless shilling of my own ideas, I posted my take and proposed solution on rep a couple of days ago. It's on my blog if you'd like to voice your opinion.
