Nothing wrong with any of that.
The point you appear to not want to see, is that having an interest does not necessarily mean you have to foist it on others who don't care for it 24/7, ceaselessly. Unless you're mentally ill - it should be easy enough to recognise an appropriate place to express your interests.
I really like Simon Baker, does that mean I have endless avatars and mention him in every thread, and start getting whiny and stomping my feet when people ask me to tone it down? No. I take it where it's appropriate and appreciated, and where I will not unduly irritate other posters. It is simple common courtesy. My weird and wonderful interests may not necessarily be understood and appreciated by everyone everywhere. Nothing hard to get about that.
I currently have a Kirk avatar and quote, because this is an appropriate place for it... will I do the same in another forum where members did not register to talk about all things Kirk, and neither are they remotely interested... would I then proceed to encourage all my friends to carpet bomb Trek all over their forums? No - that doesn't really make much sense, it's very ill-mannered actually. I call that plain strange/creepy at best, childish trolling at worst.
I am all for personal expression, and enjoying the things you enjoy, but I would hope we discourage poor manners and a lack of regard for others. If you do not find it irritating - again, good for you. It's not that hard to understand others may have a lower threshold and might be sick of it, and would prefer to opt into MLP if they so choose, rather than forcible over-saturation ad nauseam. That's one way to guarantee dislike.
I understand you would like to be very liberal and you defend the right of others to express themselves, but really, you want to make a grand stand about My Little Ponies? That's the most important thing right now? Someone's going to die if they are not able to say "MLP" every five minutes, receptive audience or no? That's silly. Come on.
