They were, however, allowed to ridicule my mod.
Yes, they were (although the first poster claims that is not his intent, but I'll grant you your claim for the sake of discussion.) People are, in fact, allowed and entitled to ridicule mods.
I've long kicked around the concept for a Modding Bill Of Rights. It goes something like this.
Rule I: Everybody has the right to make mods.
Rule Ia: Everybody has the right to make bad mods.
Rule II: Everybody has the right to play, enjoy, and discuss mods.
Rule IIa: Everybody has the right to play, enjoy, and discuss bad mods.
Yet, moderators didn't show any reaction.
Which was the correct action for them to take.
Not that such posts can harm me in the least, but they can lower the general prestige and quality of this site.
The pursuit of "prestige and quality" is generally hindered by insisting that people only say "More please!"
