Freedom tends to be self destructive when a minority of people abuse that freedom but stay just within the cusp of the law.
Which laws are they staying just within a cusp of?
I'll note here the only uniquely active user exaeta was responding to was Anonymous Coward (who in turn called exaeta bi-polar, racist bigot, and a POS among many other things). Who knows how many real users that corresponds to - could be one (yes, all that crap could be coming from a single user), could be many. Three is plausible. Didn't sound like any laws were close to being broken though.
Guess we'll need to peel away a few more layers of your onion to see what you really are talking about.

Ari is just a right-wing nut who pretends to be the most insane leftist he can to drive people to the right. Barb is some mentally ill person who rants and raves and wants to be cool and hip like Saint MDC. Azuma is a bitter old cat lady who hates everyone because she has been mean and crazy to everyone in her life until she drove them away, then claims victim status. All in all, annoying but not worth leaving the site over. Sometimes Ari and Azuma even make good points. The bigger issue here is people like deathmonkey who are clearly on the take from the DNC and whenever an event happens only posts after the response talking points are published.

DM, and the other three like to bitch slap people with moderation, but I don't believe he's doing the silly AC posts. Barb and 'Uzi', on the other hand, most definitely, and Ari too, but some are imitating him to throw the dogs off the scent. A whole bunch of people could be doing it, just to fuck all y'all up. People should just learn to roll with it.
I may be mean and bitter, but I'm actually not all that unhappy right now. And only 31, 32 this August. No cats yet though :(
Here's a free hint: the people I'm mean to generally deserve it, and I'm mean in ways they hate because I keep ripping holes in their worldview. Good isn't necessarily nice or soft. I tried that for far too long and just ended up suffering for it.
-- I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...
Yeah, you're obviously suffering the same incorrect assumption that most rotten bitches suffer from. Bitch is not how do Strong Woman. It shows weakness rather than strength that you let anyone have that much control over your mood or emotions.
You couldn't stop yourself if your life depended on it. You claim you don't care, but you obviously do. Who do you think you're fooling? Do you truly think the entire site hasn't got your number by now?
-- I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...
Unkind, yes. Incorrect? No, and you stand condemned by your own words.
You'll live with yourself the way you always have: by being an antisocial piece of shit who leeches off the commons without paying it back, forward, or sideways.
-- I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...
And you'll keep building strawmen that you know to be completely wrong. It's what you do when you can't win an argument. That and tell someone they're going to hell.
That was a joke, right? I mean, if I'm insulting her anyway, the only thing using a gendered noun as opposed to a neuter one accomplishes is greater precision.
