Neither you nor I nor anyone knows all the private email that goes on.

That would be because it's private.  In fact there is a high premium put on 
the transparency of doing the business in public.  What do you think?  Are 
people more polite in private, or on the site where everyone could see?

Maybe you're right.  We should all show restraint.

The basic rule that experience teaches is that when good behaviour matters 
most, it is least likely.

If it comes to a dispute, the record of what admins write on the site is of 
great importance.  I don't find your position entirely consistent.
