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 have only been reading this Forum for a very short time and this is my first posting. Depending on the response, it may be my last.

I’m glad you’re having this discussion and please allow me to offer my humble opinion and perspective as a newcomer. 
My very first read was about an article that appeared in the NYT about a high quality vinyl producer from Britain. The discussion, from the very first reply, quickly disintegrated into a rant by one individual, using thinly veiled memes from one political side, into a vehicle to disparage the Times in general.

I thought to myself “Hmm, maybe I should go back to reading Vinyl Engine or Audiokarma...”

You guys do have a problem at Audiogon, and you’re putting off newcomers. Whomever moderates this site needs to get more involved, pronto!
