The mods are humans of course, but I don’t think that the actions required by their job on here matter much with how they feel, or so I’d imagine. I mean it’s like doing my biology assignment; whether or not I enjoy it, it still has to get done.
But just being a jerk every now and then is harmless. It happens to all of us. You’re a jerk, I’m a jerk, you’re all fucking jerks. It just can’t be helped at times I guess, but there’s usually so much more to most Fluther members than that. Even a badass troll or hardcore flamer is dealt with in regards to the rules. Maybe the mod doing the work doesn’t know them or doesn’t give a shit what is happening, they just know they have a job to do.
Or maybe they do know the person and are affected by what’s going on…since all the mods are different people with different personalities and all, it’s hard to say. Every one of them would have to answer accordingly, in regards to their feelings, relationships on here, how fast they get pissed, affected by things, and a countless other number of factors.
If you’re talking about moderator feelings towards you rather than their actions for or against you, then my last bit is even more alla that.
