Erik, I appreciate the way you act as a mediator between the foundation and the German list. Even though you and I can disagree on many political issues, I fully trust your intentions and your hard work for Wikipedia. But these two isolated statements that I quote above are unfortunate. They very easily lend themselves to misinterpretation, and could be construed as defamatory. I know that's not what you intended, and I want to avoid the risk of this happening. This risk is primarily due to the ambiguousness of the word "democrat" and the different understanding in Europe and the U.S. of terms such as "liberalism" and "libertarianism". There are many people in this world of whom we could say that they "are not democrats", but I don't think Jimbo is one of them. I think that you owe the list members (and Jimbo) an explanation of what you meant.
I'm not speaking for the foundation or anything else than myself. Sorry for writing in English on the German list.
