What about the question, "why do I feel the need to regulate people who have strong opinions about things that don't matter, when those feelings are different from mine" ?

That's a perfect description of Wordsmith, in this thread, at least. It's not his opinions, it's his reaction to the opinions of others. I will say that I haven't noticed him doing this frequently, but that could be because I haven't been paying attention. In any case, there was no need to respond to Martha the way he did in this thread. On the surface, it was just a statement about a name that wasn't the subject of this OP, but underneath the surface it was intended as a simple dismissal of her opinion.

yes ...It isn't about his opinions about names; it's his opinions about his opinions and the opinions of other people, and the way he expresses them that are insufferable.

True, he could be more grown-up about dealing with other people's taste.

Holy cow, what’s going on here? LolI think I might be the only one in the board who likes a little snark AND a little pomp. Isn’t there room for both? I’ve been known to swing too far in either direction once in a while myself. Or, like, with every post. I’m not anxious to know how many enemies I must have made!
