I have a few ideas:<p>1) No comments on a post until its at least an hour old<p>2) More time to delete my comments. I made one just a few hours ago I'd like to delete because of its tone.<p>3) A "stop being a jerk" flag. It would only be shown to the commenter, anonymous, and have no impact on points.<p>4) Alternative to #3: same flag, still anonymous, but too many flags "mutes" the commenter for 1 day.<p>Ultimately, of course, its a culture problem. We all need to take personal responsibility for our behavior. Whether or not that can persist in a forum of size remains to be seen (I am optimistic that it can).
