That's petty. The purpose of such statements is to establish group norms, not assert high status. You're shocked that someone would create a community website and then propose to determine what sort of community would arise from it?
I am not sure you understood the intent of my comment. "The royal we" is a phrase with a technical meaning. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluralis_Majestatis It seems like an accurate statement of the facts to me.

Whatever it refers to, my immediate reaction was that the "we" doesn't seem to include me - which seems unfortunate, since - AFAICS - my usage is the more standard one. Anyway: your blog - lay down whatever terminology you like.
