The whole point is that moderators should moderate the section, and higher-level admins should only intervene in extreme cases, such as when moderators are absent and personal arguments with profanity begin in a thread.
Besides, someone already mentioned that we are all adults now and therefore should behave accordingly.
If the discussion had taken place in a more polite manner, nothing like this would have happened.
For example, recently a cheater was caught in Might & Magic IV. But here's the paradox: no one was banned after he was caught. Why? Because everyone behaved appropriately. Here's a thread about that incident.
Good luck.
