grammar - How to deal with parallel structure where the plurality of the nouns changes?

This is the intent of what I want to get across:

You are participating in a discussion with the moderators and as a moderator.

I want to emphasize in particular that he is not only speaking with the moderators, but as a moderator as well. I wrote it as follows:

You are participating in a discussion as a and with the moderators.

Is this correct? The issue is that "as a" expects "moderator" while "with the" expects "moderators". This sounded less strange than the other way:

You are participating in a discussion with the and as a moderator.

This one sounds totally wrong, in fact.

There are other cases as well. I can't think of any that arose naturally right now, so here's a contrived example:

He can choose to eat a or throw out all the hot dogs.
