It seems that what is enforced for the membership does not apply to the moderators - thus the double standard.
Yes, I have played competitive sports all my life - hockey, baseball, football and volleyball mostly and yes I've been called a LOT worse and said worse myself in the heat of competition. However, it was a level playing field and no one was punished for what they said. I was a goalie and trust me, I said just about anything possible to throw a guy off his game but I didn't get penalized and neither did they for whatever they said in return.
Then when I pointed out my offence to the comment, as did others, we were ignored and had our posts deleted and swept under the carpet. The only thing that one of the invisible "owners" of the site did was remove the offensive comment.
An apology has yet to be issued and I'm really not expecting one to be given now.
