I think that Mithrandir is just trying to do his job correctly, but as usual one cannot do right for doing wrong on some occasions. If he'd ignored the incident (which I was not witness to by the way so I can't comment directly) someone would have complained about someone else getting away with it, and he'd have been getting flack from all directions, and if he removes the offending material he get's the flack anyway. I'm not at all sure why you think he's on a powertrip either. That's not his style at all.
Also you can't expect the mods to spot every incident and behave uniformly in a real time fashion. They are going to miss stuff out and make errors, as they're only human (well they were human once, before the coming of the dark lord and his camels of doom). It may be that someone reported the post which then drew more attention to it, who knows? Personally I think the backroom job is an unenviable task. One either lets the usual suspects 'get away with murder' or one can make one's self very unpopular. Lose, Lose. I just think some people need to take life less seriously here, and give Mithrandir a break.
