> There are a lot of people out there and a lot of them here in particular, so I bet that sometimes is the case. But for it to be your main or only hypothesis here... I don't think that's the most logical one, and something feels like it is being convoluted. People wanting rules to be applied equally is only wanting things to be fair, logical and consistent. There is likely nothing more to it than that most of the time. And it doesn't in itself hint at some issue on their own part like "envy."
Sorry, I just thought it might be one feeling people were having, I didn't mean to imply that it was the only one.
And I wouldn't necessarily consider it to be an "issue" for individual posters, I think it's a normal feeling to be expected in situations like this:

And fairness could be part of it. Posters might envy those they see as receiving preferential treatment...
