Yes we do represent the board but wearing multiple hats is difficult sometimes and I don't think people always appreciate that.

I totally agree on this. It seems everyone wants to think of the mods as just admins who patroll the site without participating. Indeed a lot of boards are like that. The mods are there just to keep control of things. But here the mods actually participate and I think it is a model of the way a board should work. All of our mods are consistent contributors to discussion. In fact they are often primary drivers of discussion. It is only natural for their opinions to spread throughout the board. I agree with our mods in general a lot because not a one of them seems to over react to a situation or speak out of ignorance. I think a lot of people do.

And if anyone really thinks that dissenting opinions get trashed around here then they need to step back and look(they should also take a look at some other boards). Often time the dissenting opinions aren't trashed as mush as they are argued against by numerous people. Just becuase one person has an idea that 10 people vocally disagree with doesn't mean they are getting trashed. They are usually getting educated.
