I really think people just want something to be upset about.
Are these ideal mods? No.
Do 'ideal' mods exist? No.
Are there better choices? Yes.
Do I think randomize could have done a better job choosing moderators? Yes.
I don't believe either of the moderators (or Aquamarine , who I really think would be a good moderator despite everything) are out there to ruin tengaged, I'm sure they want to fix many of the same issues we all want fixed.
Rules were posted, if rules were broken then consequences are necessary. Is banning naughty words a priority for anyone? I don't think so. However, it is much more clear cut and easy to ban someone for saying 'x' word than it is to ban someone from being a serial predator or a groomer, even if those actions are MUCH more detrimental to the website and the health of our users.
