However true that may be, it's grossly impolite to say so.

Banning threats are not a constructive form of debate.

Jimbo Wales is the fiscal benefactor of this project, but as a monarch 
is very tolerant of the silliness of some of his subjects.  He also has

rules in this discussion are not his doing; the evidence does not 
support an accusation of lese-majesty.
