If going into a thread about making the forum a better place and saying openly you have no intention of doing just that isn't trolling then I don't know what is.

By not simply enforcing the rules, you are moderating from the point of view of your personal interests rather than the set of rules and guidelines that we're all meant to follow - and which you are meant to enforce.

'I have told both sides to stop and have deleted posts to deal with this.
This clearly hasn't solved the problem.'
I don't really see how that has anything to do with personal interests.
