Can someone can find examples where a newbie exhibiting none of those traits has been trashed?

I can't be bothered to search. I think even if there aren't, the ones who are "deserving" as you deem are jumped on too quickly for my taste, and I'm not alone in this opinion. I've had a number of PMs, rep comments and posts in various threads that are telling me the general opinion is that this kind of stuff has gotten out of hand. There's a half-dozen guys who go out of their way to give a hard time to anyone they get even a slight whiff of crazy from. This is making a lot of the other KW people uncomfortable, and I'll wager it is scaring off plenty of lurkers who would like to ask a question but won't for fear of getting pilloried. So I posted the general warning, and hope that things get turned down a notch or three.
