It is QUITE hard to do so when they are THIS ignorant. What I have been doing is reporting the posts themselves for dragging the discussion in hopes their mouth dribble will just be deleted or muted. This is not to silence what a person says, but because they are not saying anything, just insulting people, I do not feel this is a bad thing at all. Free speech is very important to me, and I do not ever want to silence the speech of someone I do not agree with, but there also has to be limits IMO. Those limits should be the basics, do not incite violence, not direct threats to a persons life or family, and really now, if the only thing you are doing is literally just insulting people and not actually speaking... well that should also be a hard limit. Again that's IMO, but without some rules you have nothing but Reddit.

The rules were enforced somewhat at the beginning but the site administrator kind of went MIA maybe two years ago and it's been a bit of a free for all since. Only users advocating violence or posting pornography get banned and spam gets removed at an infrequent pace. There's one site moderator to oversee all of this and she sometimes gets blocked from this site by Cloudflare. Anyway, there's still nice people here to chat and debate with. Just don't waste too much time on the detractors and forum sliders.
