I can see how discussing something like a moderator's capabilities and actions in public would be appropriate, as it involves the whole forum, but I'd usually prefer to at least start by approaching whoever I had an issue with directly. To me, it's the kind and considerate thing to do.
I appreciate that, but that's not what I was talking about.

If the issue is related to my supposed "proper" behavior" - as in whether or not my criteria as moderator are fair, or whether or not I have some evil scheme to "put down" quadras - where it's clear that a denial from me won't be enough, then, if I request that the forum as a whole be heard - then, yes.
