Yes I do understand the purpose of the rule, what I dont think is OK is you saying you nominate yourself as one of the self-chosen ones to whom it doesn't apply.

I've never "nominated" myself for anything. You're free to blindly and dogmatically adhere to every rule you encounter should you so wish. I think that's perfectly OK. ;)

OK, but you've self-appointed yourself as a person who is exempt from the rule.
