I guess I'm failing to see the issue here. If a moderator says "The Iraq war is totally stupid", they're obviously not issuing a moderator statement. If a moderator says "Keep it civil or I'm going to start issuing warnings", they're obviously not providing their views on a current event. Never once in my 3 years of moderating here have I ever seen anyone mistake a moderator's political opinion with a moderator's moderating.

You're asking us to put in quite a bit more effort just so you don't have to spend 2 seconds determining whether or not to read our posts.

And your comment "If there's any difference, of course" makes me question whether this is an actual concern of yours. I have a feeling that due to that comment, combined with the nonsensical nature of your request, that this thread's purpose is only to insult the mod team and accuse us of enforcing our personal opinions rather than the board rules.
