I didn't really intend to downplay the harshness of some of what's been said - some ill-thought things have been said by people on both sides of the argument - but I'm just pointing out that as a group, the moderator team tends to be people who are fiercely loyal to some ideal or other that prompts them to WANT to be volunteers, which as Cobaltdream pointed out is a thankless task. I don't blame them for being loyal to the concept or whatever it is that made them want to basically work for free.
I know that that's separate from your point Cobaltdream, and I intentionally sidestepped most of your article because I largely agree with you, but I just wanted to make clear that they're not responsible for the new policy, only its enforcement (although perhaps with more vigor and zeal than is really necessary or wise).
