Noticeboards are no different than policy/guideline talkpages - all are run by "self-appointed experts"! and often by those at the extremes of the wiki-philosophy spectrum.
As an OTRS volunteer and one that monitors BLP/N, I take exception with your negative assessment.

It was an obvious over-generalization (I assumed). It was based on my recent negative experience with some folks at WP:COIN and WT:EL. It was directly referring to the [[Community sanction [née ban] noticeboard]], and obliquely to the new [[Fringe theories/noticeboard]]. It was all in reply to the statement of "yet another silly Noticeboard".
However, I prefer not to couch everything with disclaimers and references to the "exception to every rule" concept.
I'm sorry that I seem to have distressed you, by stating that anything in Wikipedia is run by ""self-appointed experts"", whom often have subjective points of view. (See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Conflicting_Wikipedia_philosophies#Factions.2... and http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Faction)
More coffee now. Quiddity
