Transcendental Sonnet #1090:
For Our Poetry Moderators

I seek to speak my heartfelt gratitude
To friends of sacrificial attitude
Who have lifted us as they have sifted
The slings and arrows of those outrageous
Unfortunates who think themselves gifted
Aimed constantly at the hearts of our friends

They tend they defend they lend courageous
Strength with toil and talent they mend their ends
Solely to safeguard us from the hateful
Assaults of the angry and of the mad

I want them to know that I am grateful
They save the good by suffering the bad
Enduring all the relentless attacks
Of those who just will not get off our backs

I think a better quote is "The ideology of tolerance is indeed at its best when consideration is given in replying to what is said first".
