Privacy is an outward indication of respect. Jimbo of course deserves
respect just like any other community member. Moreso even. Hence these
public discussions about a good person and outstanding leader have the
appearance of being personal attacks. Though thats probably not your
intent, people in the core community cannot rule that out.
Idolatry is not a valid basis for argument.
This debate arose from a public act by Jimbo. That alone makes it a
valid subject for public discussion. While I don't completely disregard
the possibility that some people may have taken this as an opportunity
for personal attacks, the discussion as a whole is focused on solving a
real problem.
