I do think it has to stop!

Yes, I do agree it has to stop. Look at the reputation Askpedia must be getting when new users come on here looking for answers to serious questions and are answered by the likes of...well, I don't have to mention names, do I, MB? Let's just say that there are several idiotic or mentally disturbed members on here right now, giving some of us a hard time and being disrespectful in every way imaginable. Some of the vile language is just too much. Yet it's allowed to remain. I just don't understand why top experts are being attacked. I've noticed some very unbalanced questions and responses by users, and it's really sad because it reflects back on AP in a negative way. I know you and I have both dealt with this kind of abuse for much too long, and I don't think it's fair. How do we stop them? We have tried. Yet they seem to come crawling back out of the woodwork using new aliases(some which are so obvious, it's pathetic). I really don't know what these people are trying to prove. I know I'll defend this site, which I have been doing. Ignoring these individuals doesn't seem to work. Petty name calling and almost criminal behaviour: let's put and end to this once and for all, otherwise this site, like you said, is in jeopardy. I'm afraid we're going to either start losing valuable members, or AP will simply be shut down. What a sad path this site has taken from what it once used to be,MB. It really is a disgrace to all the top experts who have been with AP the longest, and the new members who are really great people. I'm all for saving AP. I'm on board if anyone has a plan or ideas on how to return our wonderful site into a place we can all enjoy and learn and teach and keep our friendships alive. Kyle.

Yes I agree, People joining or even long time site users don't want to see snide remarks and horrible comments that are thrown about to other members.This is a great site for Q's and A's,it's not a chat line.It is also not a line for people to ask Q's that have no meaning or sence.

yes this should be stopped. newbies should be careful here in this site while they give answers here. they should not be rude or insult anybody by their answers. all should give answers in a smooth and obeyable words and should not talk any vulgar language .as this site has some popularity, newbies should be careful and should be friendly with others .
