teaching each other to be awesome to each other
My experience is this lasts about five minutes before someone starts using quibbles about the precise definition of "be awesome to each other" to suggest they should be allowed to be non-awesome to people and suffer no consequences for it. Sooner or later you have to actually set down some more specific guidelines and a mechanism for enforcing them.

A bit like talking about latitude and longitude coordinates, but later you find out the receiver was a flat earther. See also: RFC 2119
