I have the utmost respect for you but I believe making statements like that
warrant context. Even if I am against censorship (which I am), what we need
is productive criticism, simply using harsh words don't help. Just my two
cents.
Best,

Hi,
I received the message below after posting "Wikimedia Foundation Inc. is
corrupt and bad. The Web team is a particularly egregious demonstration."
in a comment on
mediawiki.org.
I stand by my original statement and this attempt to silence criticism
makes the organization look even more corrupt and bad.

Subject: Message from the Code of Conduct Committee
Dear MZMcBride,
This is an official message from the technical Code of Conduct Committee.
We received a report regarding one of your recent comments at
MediaWiki.org
<
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Topic:Wt8i87odakxnhpyb&topi…modj9ds>.
The Committee concluded that the comment is a blatant violation of the
Code of Conduct <https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct>. While we
support a free and open discourse, we cannot accept personal attacks,
whether they are aimed at individuals or groups of people. Civility is
necessary to maintain a healthy working environment.
For that reason, the Committee decided to **ban you** from Wikimedia
technical spaces for **1 month**. The ban is effective immediately and it
will expire at May 19, 2022, 06:57 UTC. Note the ban is in force in all
Wikimedia technical spaces, including (but not limited to)
MediaWiki.org,
Phabricator, technical mailing lists such as wikitech-l or Wikimedia
Gerrit. Please re-familiarize yourself with the Code of Conduct during the
duration of the ban.
Sincerely,
--
Martin Urbanec
Code of Conduct Committee
