Moderators should be allowed to moderate without your involvement. Moderators who cause problems should be evaluated. Is it the moderator or is it the whiners? Uninvolve yourself, the threads will live or die by their own merit. The TOU should dictate what your involvement is and the moderator's IBOX should be respected as a addition or a subtraction to those rules. The general public will either accept the moderator or they will reject it, that is their vote.
