Referees
Dunno what started this uproar, but, as Shaun points out, exercising authority for the good of a group is a thankless job. Is moderating here something people take on for any reason other than the good of the group?
Sometimes referees call foot faults or fouls when none has ocurred. They make mistakes. They may even favor one player or team over another. But without them there's no game (ever tried one of the unmoderated poetry boards?) and the game benefits the players a lot more than the refs.
