New subject: [Foundation-l] Jimbo Wales acting outside his remit

Let me expand on that: Immediately after or before Wales saying that he's always willing to discuss things, he deleted four pages of discussion which had sprung up about his behaviour overnight. So, he's claiming he's always willing to discuss things - at the *exact same time* as he's very publicly refusing to discuss things.

You hadn't commented on this list when I wrote that. It's a reply to Zazo.

I see you have ignored all the content of my messages, focusing on a single pair of words, in which I express my frustration at Jimbo, who had, just previously, told me on IRC that artworks would not be spared, that he refused to limit such deletions, and that any such opinions to the contrary would not be heard until after all deletions had taken place, and reaffirmed that he refused point blank to even consider other positions but that extreme one.

Adam, that is not an honest representation of my position.

Note however, "We were about to be smeared in all media as hosting hardcore pornography with zero educational value and doing nothing about it." Fred Bauder

Further, Mr. Wales: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AJimbo_Wales&… Here, you remove about four pages of requests that you stop your behaviour without commenting on them, saying you know better than the community. You're a dsigrace. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l

You mean they weren't true? Which part is false, that Commons hosted (and, still continues to host) hardcore pornography with zero educational value, or that you hadn't done anything about it? "Much of the cleanup is done, although there was so much hardcore pornography on commons that there's still some left in nooks and crannies." Is that another one of those false accusations?
