If there are certain things that are inapprorpiate, the best thing to do is to ignore them, I mean we aren't forced to reply or look at anyone's harsh comments. We have plenty of moderators now to moderate them, and the unseen comments can always be reported.

"If there are troublemakers, they should be ignored"

That is a stance I cannot agree with. I would describe the abhorrent behaviour of a large majority of commenters here as cancerous. What this term means, is that if left unchecked, more people will start thinking it's acceptable and breeds even more cancerous behaviour

Comments, by virtue of being sitting on talkspaces are directly linked to content articles. I do not want to see these sort of people who spout memes and cry 'op' all day bring this sort of behaviour when they start editing, and people who need to use comments in order who have to discuss about the article (as opposed to the subject of the article) are forced to deal with these sort of commenters (i.e. Warwick).
