It would be, but mods are a) volunteers, b) human and c) generally try to *avoid* modding posts.

As noted, not every mod sees every thread. And "when to mod" is more of a fuzzy grey area than a clear bright line. Sometimes an entire post is dripping with implied insults but lacks any specific name-calling. Sometimes there's a lot of low-level trash-talking, then someone comes along and ups the ante just enough to push their post over the perceived line.

One thing holds true, though: While we may not edit out every insult, whatever we do edit out is clearly an insult. So if you don't like being modded, the solution is pretty simple: don't toss out insults. The mods would all greatly prefer that this solution be used by everyone.

Meanwhile, you can be pretty confident that insult-modding, even if uneven in a given thread, works out in the end. In one thread, maybe you get modded more; in another thread, the other guy will. It's a grand symmetry of nature.

And finally, note how your post lost none of its punch or credibility when it lost its insults. Indeed, I'd argue a lack of insults increases credibility. So you lose nothing by not being able to call people names.
