What evidence do you have of this "arrogant tone" except to the extent 
that it comes from en:wp?  If admins from en:wp want to be believed on 
sister projects they would do well to abandon their love of kangaroo 
justice.

We don't really need that.  Why should my approach to a newbie be 
tainted by such prejudicial material?  The ones that are really bad will 
soon get noticed without the need for such a condescending noticeboard.  
In my years with Wiktionary and Wikisource I have found timewarping 
admins to be a bigger problem.

I have no use for this kind of infectious paranoia.
