Indeed, to the extent that people think shouting is the way to get things done here, that is an indication of brokenness, not of best practice. What we want is for shouting to be useless, and reason to be the only effective method of getting what you want. Of course, that lets out any means of getting what you want if it is unreasonable, which may be part of the problem... :)
