The psychology of editors and moderators is fascinating. I see them as being cast from the same mold as bureaucrats. All of them, left to their own devices, will invent work and create obstacles.

It takes constant vigilance to avoid such people taking over a site and driving everyone away.

I also wonder what the correlation is between such people and being on the spectrum: The need for rules, the comfort and predictability of order and consistency and that ability to exercise control or power over something (this last one being applicable to pretty much everyone).

No hate intended here. It’s just musing out loud.
