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...

Candidly, I’ve pretty much given up on AudioGon as a source of education and entertainment. The Signal to Noise ratio is far too low. However, I truly do appreciate the contributions of @atmasphere, @almarg, and @audiokinesis. Thank you. When you decide to give up on this forum, shoot me a PM and let me know where you go. 
Agree, Almarg has been nothing but helpful and informative for years.  He’ll research your $500 dacs output impedance to make sure its enough to drive your  $250 pre amp.  Great guy!

Audiokinesis and Atmasphere are always informative and classy as well.  Even though I’m not buying gear at the level they speak of, their posts are still fun for me to read and helpful for others!

The sad thing is that 10 years ago, there was a list of 15-20 people who were daily contributors in similar fashion.

We seem to have a surfeit of winter patriots who can't see past the flags and bunting. They just enjoy the rah-rah parts. 

All of this crap about "free speech" when it's just mean spirited trolling, which is akin to yelling "fire" in a darkened theater.  It's not protected and should stay where it belongs: with the YouTube crowd. 

All the best,

Nailed it.

Free speech applies to those with bad manners but they are still bad manners so do not expect a free pass.
