Then there are a handful of regulars who are complete dildos. We all know who they are. Every thread on which they post immediately deteriorates in to a peeing match, and they revel in it. They spew hate, and racism and sexism, and spoil many an otherwise interesting discussion with childish vitriol. My guess is that a couple of them are serious sociopaths.
It's of course up to Wayne and the moderators to decide how to run this board. Truth is though there is this small number of yahoos (no more than 4 or 6 - however you count them) whose contribution to the discussions here are completely overshadowed by the hatred that they spread, and the constant belligerence and swagger they bring to every discussion. I sure as heck know what I'd do with them if this were my board. This is not a freedom of speech issue either: it's just a question of tact and decorum, and not constantly devaluing the currency. Just throw the bums out.
