Speaking of which, this lovely comment:

Infantile?

Tony, there are many, many other extremely active editors and admins who
never have a hint of an RFC filed against them, or other administrative
actions.  You are literally going around daring people to do it to you.

This is not the way to make positive contributions to WP.  Going around
pissing people off is not making effective positive contributions.  Just
because your WP friends aren't pissed off by all this doesn't mean that
other people aren't, and the record number of user complaints and RFCs
against you should be proof of this.
