Agree with Sam, I'm not supporting Jimmy because it's clear in calling himself the sole founder he is wrong & shouldn't do it, but I really don't see the need to continue this issue. There is no tiptoeing around Jimmy Wales as can be seen by many people's views on here(I'm sure he's reading it) & in Wikipedia articles. There is a general consensus that on this particular matter, Jimmy is unreliable & almost everyone agrees, so why the continuation? If there is anyone here who believes that Jimmy is right & is the sole & only founder, please make yourself known, otherwise can we just end this pointless, yes pointless, feud.
Just my view! :,)

In the end, assuming the Wikipedia community and Board reacts to this in a mature, decent manner, it could come out of this stronger and better. On the other hand, if you pretend that it isn't happening, or dismiss my concerns, you'll just be digging yourselves even deeper into the hole you're already in. Remember: the world is watching.
What hole are we in, pray?
Your concerns seem to be that Jimmy is not acknowledging your role and status as you'd like, and that the community and the Board are silent in the face of Jimmy's doing this. For my part, this silence may be attributed to insouciance -- I care little for the minutiae of history now eight years old and for your personal (yes, personal) dispute with Jimmy.
Perhaps you can explain what the world at large, the Wikipedia community and I personally gain from publicly pursuing it.
