Someone pointed at this lately:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=etiquette.html

It contains a section:

You're very demanding and call people "royal highnesses". Sure seems
like you seem obliged that people do what you think is right (other
idea? wrong!) on a timeframe that you think is correct.

Anyway, there I go again, being a royal highness :P
