You're right, this isn't surgery.

It's far less complicated.

It's also fairly obvious how the majority of the community would prefer you
to post.  Most of the replies in this thread are polite requests to not top
post.

You took it upon yourself (because you're special and unique and gosh
darnnit, rules don't apply to you, you can do what you want) to start
trolling.

If you don't like the standards, which seem rather clear, you can always
leave.  Expecting a community to bend to your will doesn't work.  You'll
just be met with more resistance, and in the end, booted from the list.
