You might inquire about the Z2 executioner moderator that was more of a
pia than anyone in the entire zone. That moderator wasn't just booted from
that echo, he was also excommed from the nodelist by the Z2C or the NC
where that moderator was nodelisted...

So much for your idea of executioner <> moderator in Z1...worse things
have happened in Z2.

Then there is the 3 netmail warnings that never arrive, but the moderator
insists that they were delivered and you're now banned from his echo.
Again, Z2 method of moderating.

And then there is the problem of the so-called moderator engaging a user
in a way that publically belittles the user...is that how a moderator
should act?

Nope. The moderator can change the content of posting by a user by asking
that person to disengage from the echo of his own free will or removing
his posting privileges if he doesn't. If the user has enough time to think
about it, he'll more than likely change his tune to better suit the
content expected from him.
