I will never be completely free of my pedantry. I'm not sure I'd want to be, either, as it gives me focus and attention to detail. It definitely has a time and a place, though, and I've tried to cut down on how pedantic I am with other people while saving it for my own projects. Looking at the poll results so far, I guess I should try harder
Looking at the people nominated in this poll, most of them don't strike me as being pedantic at all. I'll vote for Ghost, but I don't mean anything bad by it. He's one of the best debaters on TLS and will always pick up on any logical fallacies or erroneous arguments presented to him. There's your badge of honour
