I think the moderators do a really great job here.

Because the post was moved, the context of the post is missing. The original post moved here was in a thread about a reoccurring conflict on the psychotherapy forum. It's been ongoing and people can get upset.

If DocJohn or a moderator (unknowingly) injects an opinion about one side of the conflict, it can change the dynamics of the conflict. People might feel that this proves they are right and that their opinion now has a stronger voice than the other side. It can even lead to bullying. It seems reasonable that one could have a concern about that.

The other issue is that the moderator may not read or follow all of the threads in that forum, so they would not have an understanding of the personal dynamics, and their judgment could be misaligned, or even completely off.

I don't worry about that here, as the moderation here is good. I think it would be cause for concern of moderators were reactive and non-objective, or sided with their friends, treating them differently than others. But that doesn't happen here (or I am just not aware of it).
