Heck, using non-standard warnings (albeit perhaps not as flowery as the one cited) is something to be admired, not complained about.
We use the {{testN}} series far too often, and in cases where it's inappropriate. Admins being willing to think for themselves and treat the people they speak to as human beings is a Good Thing.
Entirely agree. I took a look at that RfA and thought "Why the hell do people apply to be admins. Nobody needs to put up with that much crap". i The process needs improving.
