Why would it matter whether it was done as a member, a moderator, or by the
president of the United States?

Did you go to school?

College?

If you did, how on earth did you respond when a teacher criticized your writing
style and suggested you do some things differently?  That's all this was.  A
critical remark about the subject not agreeing with the body of the post.  Any
writing teacher would complain if the title of a paper had _nothing_ to do with
the content.  Or if the title was greatly misleading...

I didn't even threaten to  "flunk" him.  :)  Just asked him to be more
reasonable in choosing the subject.

That certainly fits within the definition of "moderator".  Again from my
Webster's...
