lisa,
That's my main goal. One can disagree, even argue, with respect.
It's about respect, understanding and appreciation, I think.
Even when carrying out administrative actions, even bans, there will never be disrespect by me. I feel the same about the moderation team in using respect and appreciation even with direction and actions.
IT CAN BE DONE.

I've worked that way for two years now, and will continue to.
