If moderators see someone who they feel is breaking the rules, I simply want moderators to be courteous when pointing it out to that person in private, and also when discussing it openly on the Boards, if dealing with the issue publicly is necessary.

I've seen many instances of moderators being patient, helpful, and considerate. When they write discourteously to or about other members, then that's the behavior I want changed. I'm not against "interference." I want polite interference.
