Dialogues with Moderators

Really? If you're offended, complain to a moderator.

Guys, feel free to contact me if you notice any insults, trolling, or flaming in posts directed at you. I'll issue warnings regardless of the color of your username.

Moderators could also contact the moderators of the sections where they see rule violations directed at them, instead of issuing warnings themselves. Otherwise, it's like they're both the police and the judge. If something doesn't sit well with them, especially if it's directed at them (whether real or imagined), they'll try to make sure the offender receives the maximum penalty.
