In this case, I'm going to do the "appropriate" thing in this case and resign from my post as a Community moderator.

I cannot continue to be a TalkAssist member in a forum where activity is going on that I strongly disagree with.

missy and chex are completely appropriate in pointing out that my behavior is not appropriate for a moderator in this forum. As I cannot express my opinions AND be inpartial, I'm going to choose to side with expressing my opinion.
