Running a forum and keeping things in order is one thing, banning someone and only banning someone for two days for lousy comments made towards someone is another. If someone has poor judgement on a situation like that, he has absolutely no business being a moderator. If the moderator is unsure of how to handle a particular situation, he should report back to the moderator forum, and ask the other mods for advice on the situation... not be a power hungry ass about it.
