I'm sure that's happened in the past during the history of moderators, but the most important thing to realize is that type of moderator has more to lose than any member he/she can boot... Because that type of moderator truly has nothing but some e-authority to help boost his/her self-confidence.
Me?
Well I can simply join another forum.

But I don't have to worry about all that.
I'm sure all the moderators here are level-headed enough to know that I'm not breaking any rules.
Especially while replying to a comment with equality.
