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...

We are still animals. If you look behind the text, it is still fight, cry, run & freeze as our basic options against bullies. The report button can have a place, alltough it is not my preferred tactic in the online world.
People have to face the offensive poster themselves and tell them what is wrong. Hittin the report button is kind of lame. There are a lot of nerdy tech alpha dogs around here, so you can expect this kind of behavior (the premise is "I know everything and you are full of s@#t"). Insecure audiophiles who think they are Robert Harley or something. The worst thing that can happen is a topic started about special snowflakes. That will teach them. I have been around here for 3 months, but I know allready which comments to skip.
I mostly skip the "debate" after I have made my point. You can never win a pissing contest like that. But I don't like reporting and censoring, and I believe in freedom of speech. But it can be difficult sometimes in an online world to filter out all the junk.

@atmasphere and @heaudio123. Interesting and nuanced points of view to think about, but i still think that you must face the "troll" yourself instead of warning the moderator. But it is good there is an option for reporting.
