I ask again... What is your desired endgame here?

You harp on about democracy, you have put it to a vote in your poll (not that internet or forum polls count for anything). Even if this forum was a democracy (which it isn't) the numbers are currently strongly against you. You stand alone. Does that not tell you something?

Yeah, most people let their emotions blind them to the truth, as for end game it was to gain the attention of people who COULD revoke his privileges and hopefully get them to properly consider it or at least give him a warning that if he continues with his blatant disregard for user choice, in this case mine to seek the solution to problem Y before problem X (I'm sure there's other cases not related to me, they just need to look, or the users could post their cases here to make it more likely they're seen), then they would revoke his privileges.

Edit: Got a meeting 2mw so gonna catch some shut eye, I'll probably won't respond until after the meeting

Good luck with your psychiatric appointment.
You'll need it.
