People are people are people. People includes mods. People eventually get bored with certain things, therefore mods eventually get bored with certain things. Moderating a website is a thing which is certain, therefore mods can get bored of moderating.

I don't think the mods are on high horses, I think users put them there, expecting the mods to be some sort of infallable type of member.

Just lean back, smoke a bowl, relax, smoke another, watch an old Marx Brothers film, beat off, eat, smoke again, and chill the fuck out.

The best way to keep from being offended is to not be defensive.
