I wouldn't get too worked up about it.
I'm not.
Idealy moderators have tha same role as judges do. Impartial, they do not let their own personal opinions and convictions interefere with the rules they supposed to uphold - not that I did not use the word 'enforce' -, be consistent and not involved in the process emotionally. Nor does the appointment to such position imbue them with special knowledge about the technical aspect of the subject.
On the other hand IMNSHO the role fo the forum is too narrowly defined.
