It seems like a great way for a couple of the mods (or Randy) to get together and remove the "undesirables" from TB. Then there's no reason to call it a "member-elected" board, you may as well just have Randy appoint people.
These incessant conspiracy theories about moderators getting together behind closed doors to plot and scheme to "get rid of the undesireables" are just plain stupid. All suspensions are subject to review by Randy and all moderators know that misuse of moderator privileges would result in Randy asking the offending moderators for their resignations.

And suggestions that Randy is unfair? If that is the case, we might as well all just pack it in and find some other board.

It is unfortunate that TB discussions and elections keep going around in circles about the topic of moderation, something that Randy has made clear is not in the purview of TB. Those who bleat most loudly about problems with moderation as the foundation of their campaigns are campaigning on false premises, and it only serves to detract from the effectiveness of TB.
