Another good point. It's really a syndrome of "en's younger brothers"
mentality. Said syndrome is usually marked by far more relaxed discipline than on en, and
considerable antipathy towards en people who dare suggest that en standards might actually
be better.
This mentality, as I read it, is how Poetlister got a foot in the door at WQ: how the
accounts there still aren't all banned and retain most privileges, how an attempt to
merely tag them as socks based on FT2's meta report got reverted, and it also explains
this thread:

Personally, I think some chips need to come off shoulders here. There needs to be greater
cross-project cooperation, not pointless hostility for the sake of it.

The Crum375 on wikiquote. Not the Crum375 on en.
For some reason the wikiquote impostor Crum375 has not yet been renamed
despite now being admitted as a bad faith creation. There are few things on
Wikimedia projects which are utterly inexplicable but this is certainly one
of them.
