neutral  Hardy Moreno: stickler refers to a person who would follow the letter of the law without any deviation. A stickler is also very critical of those who deviate, even when one should be merciful or loving according the situation.

It helps to know a little bit about the apostle Paul. He was a stickler, indeed.
He stuck to the letter of the law even when at times he should've been loving or merciful.
