"Well, tell that to James. He's the one who went public without warning in the middle of the meeting. You are 100% wrong that this is a decision *against* the community. I know why I voted the way I did - and it has to do with my strong belief in the values of this community and the responsibilities of board members to uphold those values. If a board member fails the community in such a serious way, tough decisions have to be made about what to do.--Jimbo Wales <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jimbo_Wales> (talk <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jimbo_Wales#top>) 20:57, 29 December 2015 (UTC)"
Comment from Jimmy, both implicitly criticizing James Heilman for revealing that he was ejected from the board and suggesting that James failed to uphold the values of the community in a serious way. Later on Jimmy tries to walk back the criticism as "merely stating a fact." James responded by pointing out that he was removed from the board and then told to leave the room, at which point he posted to the mailing list. The complaint that he published the decision while the meeting was ongoing is silly, although I can certainly see why the remaining members would have preferred to control the narrative themselves. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
