The point of having an explicit Comment Policy is that we are presently (or, at least, were very recently) driving away half our possible audience with the way many of us were talking. At least one person commented explicitly to that effect on "Sayeth The Girl". By having a Comment Policy that we regulars can agree upon and that we can point the new readers to, we can make fairly sure that there's a widespread knowledge of the kind of norms we want here, in a way which won't encourage flamewars every six months.
To be fair, the female audience isn't here mostly for other reasons.
Also, the pick-up talk seems to be a fairly recent thing which appeared along with the self-help (akrasia) and rationality = winning talk.
The rationality = winning talk has been around for rather longer than the rest of it - indeed, longer than this site.
