Only Going Forward Because We Can't Find Reverse

So there is a lot of griping about how SSP Calgary is becoming a bit intolerable and noticing that other sites are drawing away some users here. I understand that moderation has been a problem in the last two years for various reasons but also the embedded level of hostility within the community has ratcheted up. Part of this comes down to increasing levels of partisanship and some of it is due to increased levels of agitation that come from living within a stressed economy.

So I thought I would open the floor here to discuss these issues. What do you think needs to happen? What do you suppose can smooth over the partisanship? What do you think can lighten the agitation? Let's hear some ideas. And preferably let's hash it here so we can collect these ideas.
