Not just M7, but nearly 100% of human beings. There is a primal desire to appeal to authority and/or want to have as much authority as possible for yourself. You are no different, and I bet I'm worse than I realize too.

I had admin power on a forum once. I fucked up. At the time, thought I was doing totally the right thing, but in reality I was a domineering control freak. I see it now in admins everywhere. One reason why I think admin accounts need to be anonymous, so there is no ego / personality / presentation to get rolled into the mix. Just a lit of rules. no debate, no arguments. try to stay as neutral as possible, and retreat to admin groups to discuss issues raised, but always from the position of "i'm probably wrong"
