Oh, I don't know if I'd want to do it at an LGS either; that's why I think a forum like this is a pretty solid place. When I've started them, I try to title them appropriately so no one 'stumbles' into them. Additionally, I make every attempt to be reasonable and, above all, open to other viewpoints.

Bad jokes are a terrible way to change the subject.
I was referring to your need to ingratiate yourself with people who you think are 'cool' or will support you. It is not a desirable characteristic, especially in a forum moderator. It creates and promotes the bias that you yourself just admitted to having and being influenced by.
I'm not influenced, I tell people like Psychosplodge or EldarGal off for their comments or derailments or whatever. I do it discreetly, like I do everyone.
Why would I call someone out and embarrass them like that? That's harsh. No, I prefer to have a quiet word.

Oh trust me, I overlook more than I should, I just casually cover it up most of the time because it leads to less arguments.
For example; given the amount of complaints that I have received regarding your behaviour, I could have easily banned you. I have not.

Shifting the focus of the scrutiny is also a terrible way to change the subject.
Please. The number of complaints is indicative of nothing, it is the nature of the complaints and the actual conduct that matters. If you had a legitimate reason to ban me, then you should have. The same goes for anyone else. The fact that you did not shows that my activity was perfectly in line with what is acceptable. I participate in the most heated discussions, but I have not, to my recollection, been directly reprimanded.
I hardly think that insulting someone's beliefs was appropriate, but hardly ban worthy.
Anyway, I am done talking. Trying to play Halo 4 here...

You did nothing to defend your blatantly inappropriate action and did not address any of the criticism regarding your admittedly inappropriate conduct. The best you can do is a cat picture?
Even seeing some of you behavior up to this point, I am still surprised.
