Yep if you can't stand being called an n* (or other racial slurs) don't be a reddit moderator. Also I've been called a hillary boot licker and a trump one.
Being a reddit moderator isn't for the thin of skinned.I hosted social meetups so this could have run out in the real world..Luckily I had a strong social support in the group where that would have been taken care of real quick. I've only had one guy that tried to threaten to come and be disruptive at one of the meetups. He did come out. He did meet me.

He's absolutely correct. It also helps to define community boundries and avoid extremism. A lot of this "don't be mean" culture only endorses moderators stepping in and dictating how a community talks and how people who disagree are officially bullied.
