The expression "person calling himself "Chief GNUisance" is just
restating what the person said himself, and I cite: "to me as Chief
GNUisance". This is in context of the discussion about who can make
decisions, so the name "Chief GNUisance" is in the context of roles in
that decision process.
So, this reduces my statement to "I don't want to risk [consensus-based,
community-driven] because [the role the person assumes to have in this
context]".
I can't comment on your question about self-identity -- that's obviously
a question you need to ask this person, if you'd think that this would
be appropriate.
