That has not been my experience here or elsewhere. Sometimes the administration is done off board, but I've never been anyplace where no administration was needed. Not even private groups, much less a group that is open to anyone who wishes to post here.
It gets d*mn nasty in some groups I'm part of - or rather where I lurk. I choose to participate in that. Groups that have nothing at all to do with mental health, or even with topics where tempers would conceivably run hot. I tell you, there are times when I gape openmouthed at the behavior of "adults" in groups devoted to the most innocuous of topics.
However, were it possible, I'm sure no one would appreciate the peace more than Dr. Bob. As much, perhaps, but not more. Originally there were no civility rules here, you know. Rules crept in in answer to need. Dr. Bob prefers that they be more formal than a "Hey, cut it out." To that extent, Babble reflects Dr. Bob's values.
