I think it's largely not about percentages but about norms -- what kinds of being an asshole will non-assholes push back about, and what kinds will the non-assholes think quietly "I wouldn't have done it that way, but there's nothing to be done about it." How that works is going to depend on the specific situation, of course.
Right. There's no universal ass with a Platonic hole.
There's also a bit of prisoner's dilemma to it. You don't want to be the only not-asshole in certain situations.
It would be better if nobody had cyanide landmines in their front yard, but if everybody gets them, you have to also or your yard will be overrun in dog urine.
There's that all too large percentage of go along to get along people.
Along the lines of the insight behind the parable of the polygons, what percentage of assholes does it take to make a large community shitty?
I would imagine Valve could give you a precise number for this based on DotA data.
This new scientific paper could probably shove some underpinnings under there:
haven't really taken it to the woodshed yet, but the official Malcolm Gladwell Gee-Whiz Airport Talking Point is that effective cooperation is most likely in a scalefree network with a high percentage of bilateral links - like a federation of more tightly-integrated clusters. either hierarchy or anarchy does worse.
DotA data
Department of the Assholes?
I don't know if "social cooperation" is necessary for the kinds of affronts in the OP. Not dragging a guy off the airplane roughly enough to draw blood is a pretty low bar.
Huh, it turns out that I knew what DotA was without knowing what it stood for. I only ever hear it referred to by the acronym.
30%. (In response to Ogged's question).
It's also disproportionately a tone set by authority figures. If there's a mess on your watch and you're called on to explain yourself, will you be viewed as aberrant and suspect if you did the compassionate thing? or will you be viewed as aberrant and suspect if you do the automaton-asshole thing? Command-chains get set up to perpetuate the tone set by the people at the top, and to squash the contrary tone.

That's what Mastodon/GNUSocial seems to be going for, with microblogging on top of a set of federated instances, rather than one big instance like Twitter. So far, keeping out assholes/nazis continues as a major community goal, but that may break down as scale increases.

Shit, does that mean we have to join bowling leagues or something?
14 is exactly right. The fish rots from the head downwards and all that. This is one of the things that makes the way in which American pop culture grovels to Randian sociopaths so worrying. If Peter Thiel is a role model, or, worse yet, the president whose name for a moment escapes me

I though that scale-free networks were all the rage 10 years ago. Are they making a comeback, sort of like fashion or music?
My colleagues are fighting sufficiently that I'm going to miss lunch.
People have varying levels of commitment to various methodological orthodoxies, which is functionally hard to distinguish from assholeness when I need to eat.
I guess I could get a cold sandwich, but not time for chicken tenders.
20: Bayesians vs frequentists?
I've done Bayesian stuff, but I've never worked with somebody who self-identifies as Bayesian.
I've heard legends about fanatical Bayesians who are assholes to anybody who doesn't agree that it's the One True Way, but I've never actually seen one.
So, if you saw someone who appeared to be acting like that, you wouldn't leap to the conclusion that it was characteristic of Bayesians?
People right out of graduate school are often insufferable regardless of how they've been trained. You need to wait until the edges get ground down.
Or maybe it's just epidemiologists.
I totally missed 26, probably because I was thinking of epidemiology.
There are studies in smaller groups (i.e. workplaces/schools) and the answer is a very small number. Roughly, the headlines to the articles read "one bad apple can spoil" the workplace.
I suspect there are studies in larger groups as well, and, the internet provides yet another test case.
In the description of the United incident/school lunch reports, though, I wonder what role spread of information plays. Knowledge of the bad apple (when there is only one) used to be pretty limited. But now, the stories of the bad apples spread like wildfire, and we know of their existence. Good, in some senses, because we are ware of injustice everywhere. But, bad if it accelerates and justifies a disintegration of community decency on the grounds that everyone needs to protect themselves from even the very rare bad apple.
I just think we're in the middle of a worldwide conservative shift, either because en masse we are due to undergo such shifts at regular intervals, or because we are having a massive backlash against relatively rapid change. Sadly, this shift will likely last another 20-30 years.
