I wouldn't come to the RPC and post about my private issues with them by name, however.

Setting aside the public airing of private grievances (in short, I agree with you), "Mary Sue" is such a broadly overused and misapplied term that I might as well get mad because somebody called me a hipster. It could mean anything.

I generally interpret it as, "You are doing something I don't like, so I'm going to call you names to make myself feel better."
