I'm putting this in the open where it belongs. Yesterday I lost patience with Imperialscum's rotten attitude. He insulted Timdiggerm.

I sent Tim a message and asked if the insult would be sufficient to have Imperialscum banned. It was an impulsive move rooted in frustration, and that's why I would in fact make for a poor forum moderator.

Tim thought I was "out to get" the other poster.

And I was, for the two minutes it took me to send the original message. Apologies to Tim for the awkward moment and to Imperialscum for the backroom conversation.
