For myself, it seems counterintuitive. They are supposed to encourage an enjoyable and stress-free forum environment, not act in the way that a 12 year old trying their hand at trolling for the first time would behave. I am glad that as per my earlier request, we now seem to have the ability to mute moderators, and I've muted Kiyo due to her on-going harassment.
I suggest that anyone who feels similarly about the role of moderation staff does the same, if they wish to enjoy these forums properly (some sound advice to our newer members).
