I'm saying that first of all, he should make a decission -- something he hasn't done yet. He says he wants them gone, but that's different from saying that they should all be removed. Just today I read one of his messages to Angela where he was giving doubts about how to handle the situation. He mentioned something about a bot removing all the userboxes, but only as a solution for the near future. As a leader, he should show more consistency and make a decission that stands. Either that, or listen to the voice of the community. If he does that, he would probably have to keep the userboxes. One way or another, people are getting fed up with this dispute.

So basically what you're saying is because Jimbo Wales is busy running things on the WMF board, then the userboxes should stay?
That's a pretty weak argument.
By your logic, if Jimbo can't write articles, why does he make us do them and then get in trouble with the press when controversial issues arise? If he can't do them himself, they should stay unwritten.

I think that you guys should stop doing Jimbo'w
work.
If he wants the userboxes gone, let him do it.
It's
not like he's doing something else -- like working
on
articles. I think that Jimbo doesn't want to give concrete orders on this issue because he knows
that
his decission would make him unpopular to many. Instead, he gives a few hints on what should be
done
and lets other people, like Kelly Martin, to do
the
work. Jimbo, either you want the userboxes removed
--
and make it happen -- or you do not. Until you
decide,
the userboxes should stay. Why should the
community
busy itself on debating about this week after
week,
and causing people to be more confused and
frustated
about it?
