The difference is, the part that I found rather arrogant was not the not
granting of powers, but rather, the arrogance of not even being willing
to talk with the person, simply because they logged on as a newbie and
identified themselves as a fellow coder/admin. I would not hand out the
keys without getting to know the person, but I think it a sore loss to not
take the time to even converse with them for the reason that they didn't
fit your specific protocol for saying hello.
