Sorry to hijack this Eli, but I don’t get why it’s not obvious that you should recuse yourself from moderation when there is strong appearance of personal rather than community consideration. Flag it to one of the other mods to consider.
It makes you look bad, whether or not the decision was well founded, and makes people question the fairness of the moderation process. Please don’t do this.
