How should moderators handle disrespectful posts in expat forums?

Expats in Thailand Forum Moderation Community Guidelines User Behavior Online Discourse

ORIGINAL POSTER

I just read a post where the member slags off the people trying to help him, slags off the page, and basically just complaining about everything here. So, I have sent him to pastures new. And I will do that to any and everyone who seems to not like the way things are on this page. My patience is far less than that of either Tod or Robert.
