I'm saying that first of all, he should make a
decission -- something he hasn't done yet. He says he
wants them gone, but that's different from saying that
they should all be removed. Just today I read one of
his messages to Angela where he was giving doubts
about how to handle the situation. He mentioned
something about a bot removing all the userboxes, but
only as a solution for the near future. As a leader,
he should show more consistency and make a decission
that stands. Either that, or listen to the voice of
the community. If he does that, he would probably have
to keep the userboxes. One way or another, people are
getting fed up with this dispute.

So basically what you're saying is because Jimbo
Wales is busy running
things on the WMF board, then the userboxes should
stay?
That's a pretty weak argument.
By your logic, if Jimbo can't write articles, why
does he make us do them
and then get in trouble with the press when
controversial issues arise? If
he can't do them himself, they should stay
unwritten.

I said the same thing on Kelly's talkpage, but

I think that you guys should stop doing Jimbo'w
work.
If he wants the userboxes gone, let him do it.
It's
not like he's doing something else -- like
working
on
articles. I think that Jimbo doesn't want to
give
concrete orders on this issue because he knows
that
his decission would make him unpopular to many.
Instead, he gives a few hints on what should be
done
and lets other people, like Kelly Martin, to do
the
work. Jimbo, either you want the userboxes
removed
--
and make it happen -- or you do not. Until you
decide,
the userboxes should stay. Why should the
community
busy itself on debating about this week after
week,
and causing people to be more confused and
frustated
about it?
