You can perhaps do the "home version" of the initiation ;>
I think there may be a happy medium to be found. Once upon a time, I belonged to a group (and some of the people on my flist may remember those halcyon days...) whose three Official Phrases were:
1. Get a life 2. I love you like a Brother, but you're full of sh*t. 3. You're a big strong (fill in the blank), I'm sure you can cope.
It got to the point where somone would be going off about something, and everyone else would turn to them, hold up one, two or three fingers (for the appropriate response above), and go back to what they were doing. A bit stern, perhaps, but it worked. Then again, back in those days, most of us may have needed it, too. Some perhaps still do ;>
