Why is abusive, negative content allowed?

There’s a certain member here, I think we all know who I am talking about, who continues to be little everyone else here with their rude and condescending remarks.  He continually tries to insult and creat strife and division.  It is not healthy for productive conversations or for the site.  
Why will the moderators allow this poison to ruin the site?  They are turning people off from coming here and trying to start positive, useful content.

It’s a cancer that should be removed otherwise it’s going to have detrimental effects on this site.  Is that so hard to understand for the moderators?


Tammy is so incredibly helpful but I don’t understand why this negative behavior is allowed to continue and fester...

I am not wise enough to judge where to the draw the line between allowing free speech and restraining internet bullying.  I would not want to have the moderator's job. 

That being said, on this forum I made the mistake of repeatedly engaging with someone who displayed what I now understand to be virtually textbook narcissistic behavior.  I watched some YouTube videos on narcissists and it finally clicked.  
 
Nnicola, welcome and thanks for sharing your perspective as a newcomer.  You'll have to wade through unhelpful posts from time to time but imo it's worth it, and if something really seems out of line, use the report button.

Excellent point and thanks for reminding me!

Agreed. 

Given that we all have biases, how does one reliably differentiate between "trolling" and "posting controversial content"?
