... and all this has what, precisely, to do with Wikipedia?
Mr O'Keefe is running for a position as a WMF Trustee.
While there have been some rash speculations (and some outright cheap shots) in this thread, is it tarpit-worthy? After all, the information about O'Keefe's past actions and conviction are well documented and he has confirmed them.
Oddly there seems to be no way for such an obviously relevant matter to be a part of the WP board election process other than WR. It didn't get mentioned in Mr. O'Keef's candidate statement, what with the word limit and need to dis lefties. No vetting for criminal background seems to be any part of the "office validation" as for age and identity. It is not a part of the
Signposts in-depth interview with Mr. O'Keef. I suppose someone could ask in he candidate question section
"Are any of the candidates the person known by the Palo Alto press in 1999 as the 'JCC Hate Caller?' " and see if anyone responds.
