kidderek,
A read for you from Wikipedia on the roles of moderators and you can see your actions in the light of this article.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Among a moderator's enforcement duties is often the duty to stop flaming and keep the board a friendly place, free of personal insults (but different boards have different standards, and what is acceptable on one will invariably be prohibited on another). Most boards also ban illegal material (such as warez) and outright pornography, and many also restrict the use of profanity and any violent or sexual images, however in other boards this is considered perfectly acceptable, or even the norm. Some sites will disallow pornographic subjects on the main forum but will set up a sub-forum solely for that.
On some boards, moderators are expected to stay out of all contentious debates, or at least to use alternate accounts to engage in them unbeknownst to common members. On most boards, however, moderators may participate just as any normal member, provided they remain civil and generally obey the site rules. Some boards require moderators not to moderate any discussion or topic they're involved in, and many moderators on other boards take this upon themselves to avoid conflict of interest and bias.
Depending on the forums ambition, it is important for a moderator to be available at all times to stem any crises or stop the forum's rules to be broken. Basically it is the moderators job to keep the forums clean and used properly.

1. Now instead of trying to keep the discussion friendly, you have been hostile and tried to flame the issue which was not even there.
2. In regards to acceptable standards of profanity, the use of *uck is NOT profane unless you live in Saudi Arabia and if you do, then its your problem. I can cite 101 posts from this same forum where this word was used without being termed as profane.
3. Moderators are expected to stay out of all contentious debates and NOT actually start such debates as you did.
And what most fully explains your reaction and behavior is the following point.
Some boards require moderators not to moderate any discussion or topic they're involved in, and many moderators on other boards take this upon themselves to avoid conflict of interest and bias
How the hell you can moderate a thread where you were loosing an argument. Doesn't this explains all of your actions and the reasoning and motivation behind them.
I am still demanding an apology from you and I will end this dispute unless you change your attitude from bullying and blaming to more moderator like attitude.
Thanks
Glad to see u are seeing this way the principle of a moderator... yet, it's again a god definition term of a moderator... that after all, and I'm the first, is still just a man/woman doing mistake...
I think u could not ask excuses here simply because since u ask, u would not recieve them and even if u recieve them, they would not have the delectable taste of spontaneous ones
...
I think this thread is also going way too far... I would like to lock it but I cannot
