Hello, As far as I know, the Wikimedia organizations up to now have never undertaken serious steps to analyze and tackle aggressive behavior. One idea would be to engage a social psychologist or therapist or mediator who can teach Wikipedians at conventions. Of course, the most extreme people will not attend but many good willing editors - I am sure, the vast majority - could need advice how to behave in difficult situations and with difficult people.
Gerard is absolutely right, such reports in the media are dangerous for us especially when they support perceptions the reader has already made by himself.
