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...

The only thing I find wrong at Agon is OP feel it necessary to tell others of their, distaste for a person or a "type of person", that post. Why not name the individual. You can PM the person or persons and speak your mind. You choose NOT to. A few chimed in and said "I hope it’s not me".

I’m glad you came to my rescue, I needed a young whipper snapper to straighten my kind out.. Thanks it’s like a shot of Geritol. Let make some wind!!! Ahhhhh!
Now onward..

Self aggrandizing is what OP is doing also, saying others should follow the leader and WHAT? If I couldn’t read my own post, what would I do?
If you don’t like reading others post, THEN DON’T READ THEM..Read your own... Really read your own post.... Reflect a bit....

Admin should have posted in private to the OP.  The young will learn.
Praise in public, chew in private... Trying to do a job? Must have struck a nerve.
Keep on trying Admin, your getting better...

Op, why the sudden change of heart... You were so brash, and passionate, What happened...? LOL

My mother, God rest her soul. Use to tell me "be careful what you pray for you might just get it"

"I can’t stand reading that stuff" from that so and so.. Be careful, God may let something happen, where you can’t read it for a while. I’ll bet you’d have a whole new appreciation for being able to read the gobbledygook from "Old What His Name", then.

Be careful what you pray for you might just get it....


I’m glad I could speak my mind, hopefully with respect for OP and others.

Come on dog... lets go feed the chickens..

I agree with many things you said; many valid points!  I agree that if you don’t like a post, don’t read it and move on.  The problem is when the individual posts on your thread, insulting you and everyone else, and derailing a constructive thread.

  If I don’t get banned from Audiogon (which I hope I don’t) I will move forward in a different way and do my best not to get wrapped up in all the negativity.

One thing for sure, words matter.  I know where your coming from, 100%
I've read some post that make me want to just, EXPLODE. Being polite and aware of others is an issue that just can't be understood by some.
Some folks have no empathy for others.  Sad but true.. They choose to be that way, whether, self induced, self imposed or just  to Fuc%ing stupid to care. I've read many brash comments by different individuals.
They just weren't taught or CHOOSE to be rude...

I'm an old mechanic, my job was to fix things...I would be cussed out for the machine being broke, and asked what took so long to get from CA to TX.  I would walk up on a site and hear everything, but the truth as to what's wrong, how it happened, how to fix it, how long it should take, Why didn't you bring the part? Full of answers, but a few, just a few good questions, went a long way... to get some good "how to fix it" data.

Get my point, some folks know everything... Just have to weed through the BS, and tell them when their a broken record, LOL or at least a BIG scratch, so to speak...

"Banned"  I don't think so...Agon is getting better. Best to hear it ALL and decide for yourself. Censorship and post deletion are never a good solution... EVER....

Thanks be it, your not that way....A better person for it too.. Ay..?

Better and Better every day....

Regards


Op just read your post. Don't be to put out at yourself. No need to explain yourself, either... A PM might go a long ways though..

The older you get to more you get there.

Your a person of integrity with empathy for others.....  A better person for it.. And maybe will help someone else,,, Who knows... Might teach some folks a little manners... Manners don't cost, they just pay.....

Regards
IT IS CALLED FREE SPEECH . . . DEVELOP A THICKER SKIN, AND IF YOU DON’T AGREE WITH THEIR IDEOLOGY OR “POLITICALLY INCORRECT” COMMENT -- DEBATE IT! STOP BEING SUCH A WOOSE AND DEVELOP A PAIR.

Everything has a place, that's is the issue..How well the poster blends in his or  her opinions and politics is the problem. I like so and so, because he is a so and so, that likes my so and so, SO,  so and so and so on...

ARE YOU ANGRY????, You shouldn't post in caps, it has a meaning..
To emphasize, or SCREAM. 

The big problem is MONOTONY. over and over, I need new stuff, already read the old, 50 times......NEW........ I'll hold off on the political and religious debates... Me and God are good, first name basis....

As a newcomer to this site, my first two posts were removed for no reason. Nothing that broke your rules. Didn’t insult anyone, just made a joke. So I’m already put off by your community and moving on. Seems like you got a moderator on a power trip in here.
  

Well, shoot, sorry to hear that. Don't go.. No need to get your feeling all hurt..They just need to get use to your, wonderful style, and carisma. Some deletions are automatic too.  But there are a few report happy folks. Very few, it's a pretty good place..

You didn't call anyone a booger eatin' spaz, or anything did ya?...

You can't say booger, or eatin' or spaz, that's a real bad one. 
No name callin'. Even if they are a spaz, can't call em a spaz.
Even if they eat boogers. Booger eatin' spazs. Is more than one
BES.. Can't say that.. Be careful..

LOL

I think you get MY point. Post Deletions are a pet peeve of mine.
We all got one..

Rude, could just be, down right ignorance.
That in itself, is not to bad, BUT self imposed by many as reason to be rude (I was raised in a barn, I’m behind my keyboard so I’m fearless) NOT YOU. You seem to be aware of others, That’s good. My only fear is when someone ELSE, can have such a profound effect with words TYPED on a view screen on YOU. Your, better than that...
That’s shi$head 1, Niceguy ZERO. It is a game right?
Gotta win, there is no cryin’ in Baseball, Remember ol Tom Hanks. LOL
The self imposed ignorant, choose to be rude bastard is gonna post anyways. Right? Laugh, Dance (no pun intended) still on one stilt? Sorry about that one.. Enjoy the fart smellin’ ignorant person, and add them in your memoirs, when far far far in the future, the end does great you. Hopefully with wide open arms my friend..
Let me go get my holy water... I feel a blessing comin’ on.. God bless your EARS. May what you hear, calm your spirit, from what you read my friend... Amen! (the end)

Regards
