You may well be right, but you may well be wrong.  But it's not fair
to ask us to contribute our time, energy, and money to a project that
'may'  have an abusive superuser, ya know?   If the Wikimedia
Foundation  is going to continue to a functional relationship with its
projects, this needs to be resolved with absolute crystal clarify.

But one way or the other,  Jimbo's founder flag IS going.  Nothing can
stop that anymore
