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...

This an audio/ stereo/ component type based forum. I dislike intensely posters who post for the sake of posting.
There are an enormous number of topics and subjects to be able to contribute to, however we need contributors to stay within the expectations of the users of the forum. I expect the administrators would agree.
I would like contributions to stay within the poster’s topic/ question. There are some that abuse the privilege and unfortunately we cannot exclude them.
Best that we ignore them by simply ignore or bypass their posts.

Just a sporadic poster here:...I don’t have a problem at all with the pronounced differences of opinion on audio products/music, even to the point of “All X drive widgets are junk.  You must buy a Z drive widget.”.  It’s what makes for interesting conversation, IMO.
A line does get crossed when a member gets bird-dogged by self-appointed bandwidth policemen (I.e., “You asked that same question in 2015, you know...”).  A lot of us in this hobby aren’t twenty somethings anymore and can be a tad forgetful.  Get a life...

Let's not turn this place into another Audio Circle. Heavy handed moderation can stifle a forum. Some good spirited sparring makes the place more interesting. And if you can't take some jabs, the internet is no place for you. I hope Audiogon doesn't become a "safe space" where every comment is so sterilized and there can be no disagreement and no colorful banter, within reason, of course.

Zero tolerance on AC. To the point of being ridiculous. Not here I say.
