Why do moderators tolerate this fellow?

Name calling, rudeness, are one thing, but ridiculing a loss of someone's close friend is totally a different matter.

Recent posts, and this one in particular by PhD4 should not be tolerated in this place.

If I were to make rules, that would be his last post in DPR forums.
