[Foundation-l] Removing questions about me and my role from this discussion

[Jimmy Wales]

In the interest of encouraging this discussion to be about real 
philosophical/content issues, rather than be about me and how quickly I 
acted, I've just now removed virtually all permissions to actually do 
things from the "Founder" flag.  I even removed my ability to edit 
semi-protected pages!  (I've kept permissions related to 'viewing' things.)

I do not want to be a tyrant or dictator.  I do not want us to fight 
about that kind of thing, as it's really a distraction from our work.

What I'm interested in is this video:
http://www.vimeo.com/8709616

Please watch it - it's 8 minutes long, and well worth it.  This video 
moved me deeply - it shows what our real impact on the world is, and I 
think if you watch it, you'll feel the way that I did.

As for now, I'm going to log off until tomorrow.  I'll be at the 
Wikimeet in London later today.
