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...

Fair point op.  I cringe for the newcomer to the forum and the hobby who innocently or simply incorrectly poses a question and is subsequently flamed. I have often wondered if the flamer has curried special favor with administration or is simply making up for their own insecurity in a mid/late life crisis red sports car kind of way.  As Clint Eastwood so eloquently put it, " Callahan, You know my record?  Yeah, you're a legend in your own mind".

I believe the constant injections of political judgments and viewpoints should be categorically banned.  They fly in the face of the mission of this board.  We shouldn't have to lodge a complaint everytime someone posts a divisive political statement. 
I'm amazed at the response from the Admin here. Dismissing the need for this discussion. 

You have a concerned citizen arguing that there is a issue in the community (which might agree or disagree with), but decide there is no need for the discussion. Yet, we shouldn't censor others in the name of letting any discussion happen.

Confused. 

And as mentioned somewhere, you will be loosing a lot of the silent readers or the occasional posters and this will turn into a small group of vocal arguers... not so much fun.
To keep forums constructive, maybe  Agon could start a new chat category called “Nonsense” For cases where one must talk but have nothing constructive to say.
