Well, I'm a Mod too, but I'm here for my own enjoyment mostly. Mostly just as a member.
Why? Because if I didn't simply enjoy myself here then I'd not bother being here. And if I had to limit myself in any way simply from having mod privileges, if I didn't think I should be treated equally as a normal member posting on the forum as well - I'd demote myself.
I shouldn't have to express myself any differently because I'm a mod. I hope to think I'm fair to people either way! Mod or no mod! Which is perhaps one of the reasons I was made one in the first place, I dunno.
If it's unacceptable a mod ad homming, then it is as a normal member as well! And vice versa!
The power differential only makes it worse if it's actually abused. Until then, it doesn't. I'd hope if I, for instance, ever truly abused my mod powers - I'd get prevented from doing so, or whatever necessary action would be taken against me. Hopefully that would never happen (and I can bet I wouldn't ever lose my temper! I haven't got remotely pissed off at anyone on the net in 6 years. Of my 9 years online).
