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...

If you use the report feature, you should post a statement in the thread stating your actions and intent.  When a post is removed the standard Audiogon statement is very open ended and the poster might not understand why their post is being scrutinized.  Sometimes we all need a little guidance.

When people are rude, it needs to be dealt with and not ignored. Bad behavior unchecked is how things people care about deteriorate. Sometimes the only recourse is an eye for an eye. Good manners alone sometimes have no effect.

I would be for Audiogon implementing the ability to suspend people for a period of time for bad behavior.  Send them to their room!  If they come back with more of the same give em' the boot.   It's a privilege to use resources like this provided by others not a right.  

Of course if the person generates a lot of business here, not likely to be rebuffed.  It is a business site fist after all.

I don't mind the array of know it alls,that is expected in a forum so technically focused.  I object to people who reply to a post completely off topic and hijack so there people start to answer their post as if it were the subject. Fortunately there are some serious people who offer some genuine help and I thank them most.
