During the usual vandalism and edit warring party on the Ghana article in the past weeks, I passed by the talk page to warn members protesting certain changes to be careful they don't get blocked. Whatever they had to offer, should be done in accordance to Wikipedia laws. You could be fighting for the right thing but an admin can have you thrown off Wikipedia and it will shock you. A member of this community misunderstood and gave a sarcastic response to the warning. He further came to this mailing list to say how disappointed he is of my comments on blocking.

Now the context of my warning was, a Ghanaian account Rex and I saw online before we even thought of PWMGH had 1000s of edits but was blocked. Many of you don't know this. Now just because you can now type Wiki markup and you are building your edits and editing confidence fast, doesn't mean you know better than those of us who invited you on board. Well maybe you do. But if that demeanour will not earn the group more members to help us meet our foundation target, but might cost you your account and waste our investments in outreach, or be a nuisance to a community manager's work, there is the door.

Wikimedia Foundation is meritocratic. It works with individuals as well as teams. Planning Wikimedia Ghana prefers the team approach. We do outreach but really after one is confident in their knowledge, once again there is the door. When someone doesn't understand what I say around here, you might as well get clarification. I don't mind strong opinions but for snarky comments and innuendos, I am not a fan.
