I disagree. As I said in the letter itself, there is not a better place for this message than Jimmy Wales' user talk page. This is because I am deliberately confronting him. If I can't confront a person on the talk page for the leader (at least by reputation) of the project, where can I?
Soapboxes are pretty cheap these days.
Why the continuous childish bickering-everyone knows what
happened & it makes absolutely no difference now.
What I see as "childish" is the unnecessary tip-toeing around Jimmy Wales, and people supporting and making excuses for what *really is* just self-serving dishonesty.
Moreover, I don't think everyone does know what happened during those early years. I've read contradictory statements about it, and have concluded that neither you nor Wales are being 100% truthful.
