Yes. If a post is over the line to the point that it calls for suspension, then the name of the poster in the box to the left of the post doesn't change that. In fact, I'd venture that a moderator who has to deal with such cases would be even more disappointed to find that it is another moderator.

To put the whole thing another way, moderators are on their best behaviour because they know that earning a 30-day suspension means they are out for good.
