I think this would go a long way to make sure that this thread is a safe space for everyone.Since this is the academic thread, I think every post should first go to @Academic2, who will then randomly choose three thread participants, who will (with or without reading the post, it doesn't matter) then demand that changes from the original writer, who will then resubmit his revised post to @Academic2, continuing this process until 1) everyone is satisfied 2) the author is dead, or 3) the author decides to put his post in another thread.

I will say that an interesting point is how geographical some of these issues are as well. I just moved to South Africa, and the difference in how the business school professors dress in Cape Town (more of a laid back vibe) and those in Johannesburg (very much the economic/business center of the country) is pretty dramatic. Mostly black suits with no tie in Jo'burg (which is not great, but clearly an attempt at relatively formal), whereas in Cape Town you'd usually only see a jacket if someone was speaking at a conference.
