Great comment, and honest.
True, I have nothing in common with anything deathmetal, and never will.
But I have a great deal in common with what deathmetal is perceived (by me) to be about.
I just cut out the deathmetal and get to the chase.
I can do nothing about anybody's perception of myself, or any admin, as posing a threat, or rendering the atmosphere stifling. I do my best to forget my delegated authority in this place, and often I actually do forget.
But my judgement is clearly of value to somebody, or I wouldn't be here at all.
And by the personal messages I receive, my life-views are valuable to many, especially the lurkers who would rather not tangle with the rest of you acerbic heavyweights.
I actually have a soft spot for you, and other (problem-)posters.
But there is a line I draw, and must draw, between allowing anybody to say almost anything, and allowing anybody to say almost anything about me.
