Well, his post also sums up my main points quite nicely. Basically, according to local admin, my sig is not at all illegal, but it's ill-advised. Alright, fine. That puts us back to my initial post — thanks for the advice, but I disagree with it. And I'm allowed to do that, just like I'm allowed to disagree with Wikia that Message Wall should be enabled, or that I should be using the new navigation bar. Yes, that might be inconvenience people who like those features, but this is what you get when you allow customisation: people sometimes make choices you wish they wouldn't.

You and Eladkse may both call that stubbornness. I call it reasonable. Since neither you nor he have brought me actual evidence that my sig actually inconveniences anyone any more than any other manipulation I might make at WIkia, I must assume that it doesn't.

In my view, you're therefore arguing a largely theoretical point. If this were a real issue, surely someone, somewhere would have complained about this signature before. I mean, it's been online since January 2011. That's almost two years without a complaint. And, sure, maybe they couldn't identify what was causing the RTE failure. But don't you think they would have said something in the thread, if they were really bothered by it?

To my knowledge, this has never occurred.

Thus, I believe you're asking me to fix a problem that simply doesn't exist. Most people who edit in the Admin Forums here have edited Wikipedia or other non-Wikia wikis. Most people understand it's not "source mode". Most people get that it's just "normal mode".

Until you can prove to me that I'm actually confusing or inconveniencing a significant number of actual users, then there is no good cause for me to change it. After all, we've now proved that, at least as far as w:c:community admin are concerned, my signature "works perfectly fine".
