Right, okay, whatever.
Combing through WM-l archives for the past six months, there is a pattern:
James is removed from the board - the same eight people write JIMMY MUST GO Jimmy and James get into it in a public space - the same eight people write JIMMY MUST GO The Arnon thing happens - the same eight people write JIMMY MUST GO The Knowledge Engine thing happens - the same eight people write JIMMY MUST GO The Lila thing happens - the same eight people write JIMMY MUST GO Denny writes this email - the same eight people write JIMMY MUST GO
Let's think on that for a bit when we want to talk about the power of politics, and who is playing what game and what side they are on.
Did none of you who replied to this email from Denny with JIMMY MUST GO bother to notice that Jimmy's name isn't even mentioned in this chain of dysfunctional events? I suspect not, because the line has already clearly drawn uncompromising the sand, and it was drawn years ago. If you want to continue to pretend that Jimmy Wales is the root of all that's wrong with the movement, that's your prerogative, but there's a reason why it's only the same people saying it over and over again.
Denny, thank you for sharing your side of the story.
