There are ways to be a moderator WITHOUT being an asshole. You should learn them. I once moderated a very contentious group, and I can tell you that you don't always have to wield the hammer. As Biigoh stated below, tact is a thing, and moderators should use it as much as possible. I'm pretty new to this site, and I'm extremely unimpressed with the archaic and pointless rules and dickish moderation I've seen so far.
Separate reality from fiction and DROP. THAT. TOPIC.
