I would have agreed with you half a year ago. But Jimbo decided there would
be a SOPA blackout, and a SOPA blackout was had. And every press article
that mentions his campaign for O'Dwyer has the obligatory "Wikipedia
founder" label. Whether you like it or not, Wikipedia is now associated
with that effort in the public's eye, for better or worse.

Yes, you can argue it's his right to act as an individual, it's not his
fault that the press describe him as the Wikipedia founder, etc.
