I think he's put forth a relatively reasonable and mature view on what he perceives around here.
He doesn't need intervention, warnings, or chastising. While he's correct about mods being rather one-sided around here, you guys have exercised restraint more than some would when faced by the angry villagers with pitchforks and torches. I believe Neal has some thanks due for keeping everyone level-headed (including mods) during the backlash, judging by a comment of yours awhile back:

It
does tend to give the impression that the metaphoric itchy finger was on the trigger at some point and you don't seem to be the only one. I try to be empathetic as to mods having to read too much stuff they don't care, don't agree with, or don't want to read while trying to stay somewhat impartial and sane. Considering that, all has gone fairly well even though sentiment and opinion has been involved from everyone and, perhaps, further measures were desired.
Being moderators who are willing to state their opinions on same message boards will always result in some who disagree with them feeling as if they're walking a thin line.
I've not seen anyone kicked for stating their opinion without large amounts of cursing, yet, so it's all good.
