It is hard for me to understand why some mods wouldn't agree. I believe it, but I don't quite understand.
I think it's fair to say that I am not a fan of conflict. I'm a mediator by nature, not a pot-stirrer, and I generally don't like to be yelled at, in person or online. In spite of all of that, as a moderator (elsewhere) I have never hesitated to explain my decisions so that people could better understand them, even if those decisions were very unpopular. I fully stand by my first post above, that a moderator's actions should never be so personal that they cannot be explained. If a moderator isn't willing to explain his or her actions, they shouldn't be volunteering to moderate in my opinion.
