I made that statement as an opinion, same as you yourself are doing. As far as taking moderation personally, well you should if it is you who it is being directed at. If not, and you feel the need to stand up for something because you feel like others are getting treated poorly then it is your right to do so. Same as it is my right to state otherwise. That is not being defensive.
I have invested many years of my time here and I have seen people come and go who complain about this and that. While I am not saying you have made a mute point, I am saying that overall I think that we as moderators do a damn good job. If your only complaint is 'overmoderation', well so be it. I am sure it happens sometimes, as I am just as sure there are times when we let things slide.
Behind the scenes a great amount of discussion goes into many many decisions that are made on this board. I can tell you that each mod is very different and we all have different opinions on things, many times we disagree. In the end though, we always do what we feel is best for the TFP.
