Call me old fashioned, but whether you moderate this particular sub-forum or not, carrying a mod tag immediately implies you should be held to a higher standard WRT to petty bullshit on a board. Because like it or not, as a mod, you carry a night stick, real or implied, that other posters don't have. With higher authority comes higher responsibility, and at times, maybe stifling your own opinions for the greater good. If something ACTUALLY prejudicial to free speech or the rules is happening in a thread, STFU and let the mod responsible for the forum deal with it. If you aren't mature enough, or lack the self control to do that, maybe you should reconsider your position as a mod. And don't for a minute think I'm trying to shut you up- maybe you just need to think about giving up the nightstick (the badass green mod tag) if you want to run rough over any poster you don't agree with, whether it's 'your forum' or not. 'Bonz or anyone else in authority can slap me right back into place if they think I'm out of line, but you guys did way more to derail this thread than the one idiot you had a problem with.
