It's really hard to see how you could possibly come to that conclusion. Individual members of arbcom have made it clear that banning Fæ is not in response to any single offense that he has committed, but because he has been perceived to have obstructed the working of arbcom. The sanctions against Fæ do not seem to me to be intended to make the project run more smoothly, but would seem to be purely punitive in nature. I don't know much about the workings of arbcom, but this week's banning of Fæ and desysopping of Kwamikagami go far beyond what I personally think the remit of arbcom should be.
