Erik, possibly you are right, but aren't you posting in this apologia, in the wrong place? It seems to me this is just another example of the lousy public relations at which Wikipedia excels. You wait for the world's press to run the story, and then post to us here - truly amazing. Tell the world not the select few, and tell them yesterday.

Telling the world's press about a "destructive, trashy kind of pseudo-journalism" is not likely to go down well when they recognise that the public, like it or not (I hate it) wants to read about the private lives of public figures.
This is a public venue where the Foundation can reach out to anyone who wishes to speak with them, making these comments completely off base. He is not reaching out to the media and this is not an interview. He is reaching out directly to the people. Your ability to reply directly to such a high profile figure, and address an e-mail directly to Jimbo if you like, attests to the awesome public relations of the Foundation.
