But worse to me are their comments in that post calling the people responding "childish trolls in this community". I do not think that this is appropriate for a moderator.

That's insulting? Quite civil words, compared to the words the community he is describing, use in that thread.

Yes. And that doesn't excuse it; a moderator should be better than the community they moderate.

That's honestly an unreasonable expectation of volunteers, and especially not one I'd want mods to measure themselves by. A mod who thinks he is better than the common users would be a massive asshole.
