It's voluntary community action, no punishment or anything so crass, go there to practice and play if ya wish, just don't expect to have an intelligent conversation there. Humans organize into groups to solve problems and address threats to their communities, why is this place any different? I can make friends, and make enemies hurt too, and I can hurt people badly, and have seen them harmed and helped them too, this is harm reduction on a voluntary bases, organized citizen action. Like someone I know (from a movie) used to do, someone I learned from and respected, this is part of the lesson he taught me to improve the world.
