I would retract it and apologize. I want my journal to be a safe place for my friends.

I'd probably change it to "canon police" or something.

What about "Canon Cop"?

I think it's slightly snappier, alliterative and applies better in the singular.

The only thing I'm not sure of is that most cops are generally seen as enforcing just and/or democratically-approved laws. Maybe I'm overly optimistic about that, but "canon police" loses a bit of the original impact by leaving out the nuance of injustice (and cruelty, and horror, etc).

It's better as a self-referential term, especially when it comes to issues of canon. There is much more of a solid line between what's canon and what isn't than, say, policing nebulous ideas of "community (proper) behaviour".

It definitely flows better than "canon pedant", that's for sure!

As a police-hater, it gives me no small amount of glee that "nazi" and "police" are interchangeable. (And I've heard them swapped out before.) Not that cops are as bad, but are recognized as milder versions of the same mentality.
