Help Wanted: Mod Bashing Channel

I always encourage anyone who wants to join me on the dark side. Doesn't usually end well for them, but at least I have friends with a common interest around me.
--------------------------
Seriously?!?!? Just WTF! 
Apparently my blog post made earlier was premature.

I have not been on here for a couple of months because I have to chose my "stress triggers" carefully.

Since Dec. 2015 there has been an unpleasant ebb and flow on Disqus. I know this has been happening longer than that, but this is when I became aware of it and I am not going to speak about problems other people have had.  The attacks, counter attacks and pre-emptive attacks never seem to stop they just escalate and de-escalate in a passive aggressive manner.
I honestly don't understand why Disqus has no interest in finding a solution. I know there is conversations about it being part of the social data collection by the company, but if that is it then it is a f*cked way to collect data.
The people on Disqus are real people with real lives, real emotions and real problems. Using them as guinea pigs w/o their knowledge in IMO unethical and immoral.
Having said that, I do not understand the people who believe this is what is happening and continue to play into it.
When is it time to let go and move on? There are some who we know are never going to give up on the attacks as they have demonstrated repeatedly, but why are so many continuing to give those few the power to instigate?
To me the bottom line is that Disqus has no interest in resolving arguments, attacks and controversy and we have to decide for ourselves how we want to deal with these situations.
