Wish I had one, LR55.
Allow me to present an analogy. You are now the manager of a movie theater. You hear a commotion from one of the theaters showing a Dwayne Johnson action film. You listen for a minute, and discover that you have a group of people upset with one particular patron. The one patron is talking throughout the show, saying what a terrible actor the Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is, while the other people are yelling at him to stop so they can enjoy the show. This goes on, with this same talkative patron, show after show, talking through each one. Whom do you, as a movie theater manager, sanction? The talkative patron, or the people seated around him?
While I admit it is a loose analogy, I believe it establishes the point. As long as the talkative patron keeps it up, more and more people will avoid that particular theater and seek out a different venue.
I can only say that in the past, moderators have issued warnings to disruptive elements. Continued offenses were followed by "time-outs". Further disruption, well, you get the gist. .
Your dilemma, then, is how to decide who or what is the disruptive element. Further, is it even worth dealing with? After all, 2A is only one of several "theaters within the movieplex".
If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?
