Honestly, I don't know where to start.

When you spoke about Matt's comment being nonsense, you are kind of ignoring the fact that you have been putting the word "hated" into our mouths and thoughts. What rule is it he was talking about? I don't know -I am not him-, nor is it important. The point is that, want it or not, you are putting words in the Admins' mouths. Several of those rules were made by Matt, yes, but not because he hated someone. Instead, it was because he honestly believed (and probably still believes) that it's for the best. And even if he happened to hate someone in here, every rule you've listed, no matter who proposed it, has had multiple Admins' consent before being finally written it in the Rules page, so the hatred is not a determining factor at the time of deciding how good a rule is. It's not as though we have implemented rules which can be interpretated as "If an Admin doesn't like you, you get banned".

Okay, we may have made rules after we ran into trouble or we discovered that something bad happened. What's the problem? We're a fledgling Wiki. We are a relatively new batch of Admins. We make mistakes. We leave loopholes. We learn from our mistakes. When a bad thing happens, we don't automatically hate whoever did the bad thing, but instead work to make it so that we are prepared, should a similar situation arise again.

The important thing is, we're not trying to ensure dominance over the Wiki or anything. We're doing what we think it's best, fixing whatever loopholes we find. All the rules you've listed, they were not implemented because of hatred, or because of annoyance - it's because we might fail. And upon failing, instead of trying to assure that we never did anything wrong, we instead acknowledge that we were wrong, that we forgot something, that we, in short, are human, and do what we think is for the best. If you think you know what's best for the Wiki, then by all means, let us know. We are glad to acknowledge whatever mistakes we might have commited, and to work in order to fix them.
