That was very informative Rod. When I was in grad school I sat in on some AA and Alanon meetings. I came away with a couple impressions namely that the members generally care about each other's success, that they are very estute at detecting b*llsh*t, and that they are very skeptical of non-recovering therapists. Anyway, as to the topic of group civility (which I'm afraid is a bit of a digression from your original post), I felt a strong sense of respect for the quasi-elders here (Larry, Dinah, Chemist, Zenhussy come to mind). A subtle rebuke from a veteran carried weight while I was trying to fit in. You seem to describe rules as mores rather than written codes, am I right?
