Any or all of this might not be right, of course, but that's the impression I got from your post.
Seriously, when you spam up the ebook/reader/industry general discussion thread with some off-topic and juvenile ... stuff ... about vampires and breakfast, instead of introducing yourself on the "Introduce Yourself" board, or posting your strange stuff in the Lounge, how do you expect people to react? "Oh, wow, he's so kewl, he breaks the rules! That's just sooooo awesome!" Sorry, this is an adult forum (even if some of our members are not chronologically adults) and that's not admirable, it's just disruptive. You are not getting the kind of attention that you want.
Your relationship with the MobileRead forums is not really getting off to a good start.

Impressions are a funny thing. You got all that from a single post where as I got the idea that someone is probably pretty new to forum boards in general and simply didn't look around enough first.
My impression of your post is that of an extremely anal, pompous and grumpy old man who takes things far too seriously and likes to belittle other people in "public" on forum boards for fun.
That of course may all be wrong but that's the impression I got.
