Jesus, look at the moderation on TFP. All in all, it's impartial. I dance on Cynthetiq's nerves constantly, but he has never once let our disagreements spill over into his administrative duties on the site. Why? Because he understands that as an administrator he is responsible for being fair and impartial. You yourself do the same thing. And no, this isn't sucking up.
