I can see why a moderator would confuse themselves with the signal. And more overbearing they are more the supposed signal that remain will have been overwritten by them, if not entirely fabricated.

Moderators discriminate what they believe is signal from what believe is noise.

Noise is whatever doesn't fit inside their belief structure of what constitute signal.

This has been abused to no end, even before the internet by all manners of gatekeepers.
