It's not trivia to them, Tony.

Whether in the greater scheme of things it's a trivial matter, whether what
you're doing is the best course for WP in the long term... don't matter.

The way you're approaching the problem is pissing people off.  Other admins
aren't pissing people off over this probem.  It's gotten bad enough that
someone RfC'ed you over it.

Purity of heart and the best of intentions for the long term interests of WP
don't justify abusing people.  The ends don't justify the means.  They
particularly don't justify the means over such a trivial matter.
