I see nothing surprising here as this kind of behavior constitutes the very definition of the person behind the alias HostFat. It always did.
HostFat has moderated the Italian section for over 7 years, and I can recall few complaints and no unethical actions. I think that you're biased against him because of his support of BCH, and while I strongly disagree with him on that, I haven't seen any mod abuse related to this from him.
I was referring to the Roger Ver DT shenanigans i.e. abuse of position, not necessarily his moderator position. I'll leave it at that as this would deviate from the topic on hand.
