Hoi, You are welcome to your opinion about Jimmy Fae. But honestly. I think you have gone into a direction where I fail to follow you nor do I see a benefit. I also fail to understand why you have it in for Jimmy, it comes over as personal.
What I personally observed in quite a few occasions is that Jimmy was instrumental in moving things quietly and deliberately in a direction that served, serves and will serve us well. Jimmy is not an employee, at that he is more like an ambassador and it is a function he serves pretty well imho. As far as I know our foundation, there is nobody who can fill his shoes and as such your sniping is not contributing to what we aim to achieve.
My question to you is very simple. Who else and how else could we replace Jimmy, Do not give me crap by stating that elected members of the board do equally well. They do not. Thanks, GerardM

If we are going to have more elections, can we please hold Jimmy to account this year rather than waiting for him to leave the board under his own steam?
His use of "utter fucking bullshit", then using these distraction politics to avoid answering basic questions intended to deal with his repeated public allegations of lying against a respected community member, is not what the Wikimedia movement needs or wants from a Trustee, or someone who represents the movement to the press.
If Jimmy were a WMF employee, he'd be gone by now.
P.S. We are still waiting for Jimmy to publish his interviews with WMF employees resulting from his trip to SF, when he was claiming to act for the WMF board, I can't be bothered to work out how many weeks ago that was. Is this sort of promise that Jimmy would call "bullshit" if it was yet another person he had an ongoing feud with?
Fae
