Well, frankly Zen was never too shy about expressing his opinions. Please note that I am not saying that it is good or bad thing, just observing the fact.

Yes but the previous posters comments that it can get in the way of good moderating was a true statement. It can be a problem if they do speak out personally abit too much. And it can be a problem if they force themselves to hold it in too much. On other Boards Ive moderated I have often recommended that the Moderators create a personal user personae to make it easier to split their replies in a healthy manner.

Aye, I completely agree with you Gandalf. And yes, it can certanly get in the way of good moderating. Perhaps creating another person is a good idea, either that or having tight control on your emotions when you, the moderator, decide to participate in heated debate.
BTW I never noticed that to be a problem with you, although I imagine you probably had a strong desire to tell what you reeealy feel in plain words over some controversial topics. Personally I respect your self control and discipline, I think they are sign of good moderator.
