Then you have not been reading. Your statement above is a *personal* attack.

but many disparaging posts about the members here, our

The implication that reading my posts is a waste of time is a personal opinion
which a moderator, even a n anonymous moderator should keep to herself.

Such a statement is designed to be a humiliating personal attack and is rude in
the extreme.

Because you are a moderator means that you should take this  accusation up
beforehand in private email. You have not done this.

Making moderator public attacks such as "troublemaker" is "trouble-making" in
itsef.

and not a contributor.

Open to question and a matter of opinion.

If you had an enquiring mind you would see that I contribute a great deal.
