The Rachel Marsden issue is a non-story. Obviously a lapse in judgement for Jimbo to intervene on her behalf, even if he did it through the correct channels, just because like it or not, Jimbo isn't a normal user, and his words are given weight beyond what they should. What can you do but say oops? That's why pencils have erasers.
The bigger problem are the allegations mentioned in the article about use of foundation funds. Three specific claims are made: -Jimbo tried to expense a $300+ bottle of wine -Jimbo tried to expense a massage parlor visit -Wikimedia foundation took away Jimbo's credit card.
Obviously, of it any of that were true, it would be super bad, and nothing can be done but watch it play out.
But, far more likely, if it's false, the foundation needs to find out that it's false, and then get that word out ASAP. I haven't seen them say it's not true. I haven't looked hard, but then-- nobody else out there is looking hard either. If I haven't seen "the facts" on the issue, neither has almost everyone else.
Just a thought Alec
