Frankly, if we can't criticise the opinions of people who happen to be Foundation staff, we might as well give up.
Could we please refrain from referring to the fact that Cary / bastique happens to be foundation staff. I think he has made it perfectly clear in one of his last emails that he felt insulted as Wikipedian and not as Wikimedia Foundation staff member.
Feel free to discuss the merits of Jeff's statements and whether they are insulting (although one might argue that this list is not the best place for it...), but please don't build conspiracy theories as "He may not be criticised because he is foundation staff!!!"...
Thank you
