I'd like to point out that if the mods (as a whole) disagreed with one mod, they would not be defending him/her actions.

This is a fact.

I do admit that I'm biased towards seeing things from the moderator's point of view because I know how hard moderating is.

When I'm moderating, I try to give the user the benefit of the doubt, and when I'm viewing another moderator's edits, I do the same.  I genuinely don't think any of the other moderators try to be biased or moderate based on personal opinions or political beliefs.  I do think we're all biased in our own ways, but I think we all try to stay "neutral" and enforce the site rules (but mostly allow our users to police themselves).

This is difficult to do, so your feedback is helpful, and welcome.  We can't get better at moderating, or being people even, without feedback.

We get lots of love from the users, and appreciate it.  Thank you. :)

We do screw up sometimes, too, and voicing concerns/complaints is okay, too.
