Well, all I can say to that is my experience has been the opposite. See my "favoritism" post a bit further up - that's essentially what I've run into during all my moderating life. Even this place isn't clear of it.
Curious, what size was the forum you moderated? If it was a small one, I might even agree with you, since a small community tends to be one where everyone knows each other and so public discussions are less, well. Camp-based?
I run a tiny community called
Arcadia which I suppose I would still want people PMing me first, but I wouldn't so much mind a public discussion there. But I'm not sure. Just me rambling.
