Jon,
I think you make a very good point that there exist traditional avenues for dispute resolution between scholars.
The issue I see is that scholarly norms and instincts may occasionally malfunction in a novel, text-only social context, so it'd be nice to have a resolution policy to fall back on.
I'm reminded of the this article exploring how frequently (text-only) emails are misunderstood:
