Here here. 300+ users have ordered the removal of Jimbo's founder powers. Not some of those powers, not half of those powers, ALL of those powers. He doesn't get to negotiate his own remedies-- the community wants doesn't want him to play the founder role. He has disrupted the project and damaged our reputation far more than any measely porn story ever could have, and he broke all our rules in the process, and the community has ruled. The *only* sane response for the board to this is for them to say: "Pursuant to consensus, Jimbo Wales powers are revoked" But if they're not going to say that, they might as well say "Jimbo Wales is more important than the entirety of the commmunity, and if you have a problem with that, go away". Call the board together, have a nice vote, and give Jimbo his project back, dissolve the foundation, and let the rest of us be on our way. Any statements in between are only going to add to the crisis. It's community vs jimbo day. WE hoped this day would never come, but it's here. Who trumps who? The board needs to decide in no uncertain terms and enforce its decision. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
