Aggressive trolling not welcome here

I believe this should have it's own thread.
I see neither trolling nor aggression in the removed post.
The speed of the removal of this post indicates that Jimbo was not comfortable with it, but why?
The post was made not by IP, not by a sock.
It was made by profilic content contributor , the kind of contributors whose work make readers to donate to wikipedia.
It contained a valid questions of a person who clearly looking for ways to improve wikipedia, not to attack it.
Doesn't Jjmbo understand that removing posts with such edit summaries could evoke only bigger interest to these posts?

How much does Wales earn per year? Is his income solely from WP? Is he wealthy? How?
Surely he's not still riding on his commodities exchange profits from over 15 years ago?

He should be sending Cla68 royalty checks.

He does not draw any income directly from Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation. Most of his income is tied to paid speaking engagements and sale of shares of Wikia, Inc. stock.

This has been adroitly covered by one journalist in the mainstream media, thank you very much.

There are publicly-available legal records that itemize to the dollar Jimmy Wales' annual income and expenditures for 2009.

Readers who are interested in obtaining the complete set of public divorce files for Jimmy and Christine Wales may walk up, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM at the Records & Information Management office - Mid-County Branch, 14155 49th Street North, Clearwater, Florida 33760. There is a $1 per page copying fee. Or, you may contact your National Wiki Examiner at ResearchBiz (at) gmail.com to obtain the complete PDF file electronically, for a small processing fee.

Am I reading this right, that the half-minute it'd take you to attach a file to an e-mail and hit 'send' is an action you charge people for?

It is when the PDF file cost me hard-earned money and time and coordination with a gopher in Florida. The PDF didn't just magically appear, you know. Obtaining the PDF from me, one would be paying a very small fraction of what I laid out, and it's a much more convenient solution than getting one's self to Pinellas County and paying a clerk $1 per page for photocopies.

Not to mention, by charging a fee, it helps me weed out the pseudonymous and snarky free culture hipsters who aren't willing to disclose to me that they're obtaining this document.

Not all information wants to be free as in beer.
