It was not a mistake. You were told it was not. You acted against the
wishes of this project. If that's not a clear expression of your
dissent, I don't know what is.

All information in that section of the wiki was our responsibility to
look after. Your unwelcome restoration of the information to the wrong
location, repeatedly, was indeed thwarting us. Like a child who insists
on making her works of art on the wall instead of her notebook, you
consumed an unreasonable amount of our time to deal with your actions.
This very thread is a further waste of my time. Your minor bug filing
notwithstanding, your net contribution to improving our documentation so
far has been negative.

That may be, but unilaterally acting against the wishes of a project,
modifying a site which they have responsibility for when you've been
told not to does not solve a problem either. It makes one.

What? How can you consider yourself *not* to have been told after all
this? Argh. I give up.
