I agree that it’s a difficult balancing act. Overall though, the role of a moderator is to facilitate conversation in accordance to the rules, not enforce their own narrative on the community.

This is refreshing to see, good on you for daring to do this. There is no reason to fear respectful debate in the absence of an agenda.
