Charles, I can understand that you are bitter at having been so firmly voted
off the Arbcom, but you really should ask yourself why that was, and try and
draw some benefeits from the experience. Ths community wanted change, a
change that is from your Jimbo biased perspective. A perspective which has
got Wikipedia into this mess, that is my point - nothing more.

Really Charles, you mentioning Greg Kohs to prove

must be truly desperate, is he not another of the many dissenters that
you, Jimbo and Co have suppressed. Anyone who does not toe the "Jimbo
line" has to be driven off or banned and shut up. I correspond with
many and listen to their views, even when I don't always agree (as I
didn't with Greg on that occasion); it's a great pity that Wikipedians
are prevented by Jimbo and his cronies from doing likewise openly and
honestly on Wikipedia because then, and only then the project may
mature and grow.
Wikipedia's PR stinks because it has to know-tow to the wishes of
Jimbo and his coterie, a group of sycophants singularly lacking in
judgement and wisdom - as long as this situation is allowed to
continue, Wikipedia is fair game to all journalists as it will always
appear amateurish and ,frankly, rather silly and unreliable.
No, I'm not
"desperate". The Sam Blacketer issue doesn't revolve around
you and your "dissent".
You have ducked the point I was making, which was that your wish to
campaign against Jimbo led you in that matter to present an open goal to
a dedicated critic, Kohs, on an issue (biographies of living people)
which is serious and ongoing. Jimbo was quite right to say that you were
intending the Hattersley article as a "coatrack". What you (don't deny
you) wrote to Kohs makes that plain. We have a policy to prevent such
use of articles as a way of discomfiting our critics, amongst other things.
Your intervention here seems pure mudslinging, with nothing to offer on
the topic of the thread. It should be quite obvious why you aren't
consulted on these matters. The example I have given serves to show why
you'd be just about the last person to ask.
Charles
