1., that's not what Geni said. 2, where's yours?

We do see a lot of people who don't fit in well at en:wp going to tiny
projects. Sometimes it works out well, sometimes it doesn't. But
claiming it's an assumption of bad faith to note the phenomenon is
just silly, and claiming that noting the phenomenon is a statement
that all people from smaller projects are being called outcasts is a
failure of logic (A c B does not imply B c A) and reading on your
part.
