They have stated the rules, they run this wiki, and that's all you need to know. If the admins did decide that "2+2=Fish" on their wiki, then it does on their wiki. If you don't like that, then go find another wiki to edit. Part of joining a community includes agreeing to abide by their rules.

Do not act as if you're being oppressed by some corrupt authority. You embarrass yourself with that sort of nonsensical comparison. This is not some sort of oppressive government regime that's infringing on your natural rights, and you're not some sort of intellectual freedom fighter pushing for a noble cause. You're a petulant child throwing a tantrum because their reasoning behind the rules they set doesn't meet your own personal criteria. You display an astounding level of arrogance to insist that any rule within the community not explained to your standards is somehow invalid.

"Who are you to think the administrators even owe you an explanation?: Everyone: admin or not, owes it to everyone else to explain their rationale when understanding is necessary on the part of someone.

"They have stated the rules, they run this wiki, and that's all you need to know.": I know they have stated the rules and run this wiki. "...and that's all you need to know.": You sound very dictorial and/or facist in the tone of that phrase.

If the admins did decide that "2+2=Fish" on their wiki, then it does on their wiki.: You sound like someone who conforms and submits to authority without question. Very foolish.

"Part of joining a community includes agreeing to abide by their rules.": True, you abide by the rules but that does not mean you do not speak up if you disagree with them (the rules).

"Do not act as if you're being oppressed by some corrupt authority.": When did I do that?

"You embarrass yourself with that sort of nonsensical comparison.": What comparison? When did I make such a comparison?

"This is not some sort of oppressive government regime that's infringing on your natural rights, and you're not some sort of intellectual freedom fighter pushing for a noble cause.": Truthfully, I did not even begin to feel that way until after response #9 on this thread. To say from #10 onwards, it has begun to feel oppressive somewhat.

"You're a petulant child throwing a tantrum because their reasoning behind the rules they set doesn't meet your own personal criteria.": You are acting like "a petulant child throwing a tantrum" because they are being asked to explain their reasoning rather than everyone just blindly agree with them without any questions at all. "You display an astounding level of arrogance to insist that any rule within the community not explained to your standards is somehow invalid.": When have I insisted "that any rule within the community not explained to [my] standards is somehow invalid."? I do think it is wise to question something that does not make sense.
