Incidentally,
The mods certainly like to join in, or even start debates here. After what happened to TJ it makes one think twice before engaging with them now.
I’m not sure if I’m reading too much into this, but it seems to imply “argue with a mod and you’ll get banned.” If that’s what you’re getting at then I’m a little sad that you think this because I genuinely don’t believe it’s the case. I’m a forum user who also happens to be a mod, not a mod who also happens to be a user. I’m not aware of anyone ever abusing power to win an argument (except when it’s funny).
The vast, vast majority of my posts are voiced as a user and I do try to label posts clearly when I’m speaking in a moderatorial capacity.
