It's part of how she acts and it's also part of her moderation style. When it comes to wanting to avoid people, she goes from 0 to 60 incredibly fast. She will put up with someone and go out of her way to help them, but the moment she feels like they're a shithead, she completely flips. She also doesn't care that much about online negativity as long if it doesn't feel like intentional and personal maliciousness. If someone shows up and talks shit, she probably doesn't get mad until after they become a serious pain in having to deal with. She should weigh in on whether or not she agrees with this assessment.
The other reason for it is she instructed the moderators to be extremely patient with users before handing out bans so users can correct themselves before they start getting kicked out of the forum. We have the warning system where users get formal warnings for rule violations and it takes a minimum of 3-6 warnings before bans of increasing frequency start. I believe it's one of the reasons why we were able to attract users and grow. Moderation still occurred because rulebreakers got warnings.
Tanya also enforces a strict policy of assuming good faith until proven otherwise and she is usually extremely patient with people unless they show that they simply don't care and they're willing to game the system because they know there isn't going to be a severe punishment.
There's also a huge difference between what she tolerates being directed at her and what she's going to tolerate being directed at someone else. The latter is more likely to cause a severe response.
