And, if the community roundly supports that sort of behavior, well, why bother improving it?

By definition, one of the roles of an Admin at any website is to strive to improve it regardless of the behavior, no ... in spite of the bad behavior of its worst members.

I have no interest in seeing pictures of poop. If I did, I'd do a google image search for "poop" and find (disgustingly so) many, many pictures as bad or worse than what Duckman posted here. But what I can't believe is that you got your feelings that butt-hurt over his juvenile antics. Especially since, compared to what I see transpire on other websites, his trollery wasn't even that aggressive.

And none of that should have any bearing on your pursuit of your duties here.

Not everybody is bad, but a few really do make a terrible impression.

Well, rather than rolling your eyes with them, why don't you disabuse them of that false impression.
