No, not at all. I do not want to work in a family environment. A couple of years ago, on Russian Wikipedia we had an admin who indeed treated Wikipedia as a family environment, dividing the community into "friends" and "enemies", being rude to enemies, making plots with friends and so on. She was quickly desysopped and then banned for two years, and it looks like she had finally learned some of her lessons, but I still recollect this editing atmosphere of 2008 over there as a nightmare, with several "families" fighting against each other and so on. I have heard that Portuguese Wikipedia something similar is or was going on (not that I care so much). Traditional societies have their advantages and disadvantages.
