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...

Moderating private forums is not a constitutional issue.

For the record, I asked Tammy to delete this thread 2 days ago; I dicn’t state which thread.

She immediately e-mailed me back but it went to my junk folder.

i just found it and let her know that it was this thread that I asked to be deleted.

I am all for free speech.  Thats a big part of what makes this country great.  I needed to learn, which I have, that if you don’t like what someone is saying, don’t respond or move on.  I’d hate for anyone to start dictating what can be said here, or anywhere.

Lesson learned.

Another lesson learned is its not wise to post while under the influence of heavy pain meds.  I’ve got a leg thats Horribly broken as of last week and have been on my back for 9 days straight now (with probably another 6 weeks to go).

Sorry guys for the crappy thread; I haven’t been by usual self lately.

so again, I apologize guys 🙁

“Given that we all have biases, how does one reliably differentiate between "trolling" and "posting controversial content"

This is why you can’t have free speech at the same time as moderating what can be said or not said.

I’ll just keep moving along when posters who I know offend me, post a thread...
