Jimbo commented back in 2006 that the two sites he visits every day are:

QUOTE
I have Firefox setup with 2 homepages: my Campaigns Wikia userpage, and my English Wikipedia userpage.


Here we are in the very heat of a US presidential election showdown, and take a look at the content on Campaigns Wikia lately.

Looks like the electoral calendar of Indonesia is the real "campaigns" hot-spot! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif)

Strange that Jimbo hasn't posted one electron of content to that site since September 22, 2006. He promised us in July 2006 that he was "wildly psyched about the campaigns wikia, so I plan to hang out here a LOT".

Funny how Jimbo could be "wildly psyched" about something, make it one of the two daily webpages he visits, then be completely DONE with it three months later.

What does this tell editors of Wikipedia about his long-term commitment to them?

Also, how telling was Jimbo's final edit to Campaigns Wikia:

QUOTE
:You are forgetting that this is a '''Campaign''' Wiki. The template allows people who campaign for and against us to add any information they have to the relevant category. You can't expect us to campaign for "paedophilia", because the majority of people will assume that we are campaigning to have sex with young children, which is not what this campaign is intended for.

::I have received no complaints about it, and I am not offended by anything. Check your premises. The point is, this is an extremely nonstandard term, and doesn't belong on the homepage. --[[User:Jimbo Wales|Jimbo Wales]] 09:21, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


Pro-pedophilia agents seem to infiltrate everything Jimbo's involved in!

Jimbo's quick response (from IP address 75.220.231.8):
QUOTE
Greg, you are just as free today to do that as you ever were, and I wish you well with it. And if the articles are good, then all the better. That you have had troubles at Wikipedia is unrelated to that. I am sorry that your troubles with the community have led you to such an anger with me that you are unable to let it go, but I can assure you that your life is not improved by fixating on me. I wish you the best and hope you will leave me in peace.----[[w:c:search:User:Jimbo Wales|Jimbo Wales]] 17:24, 18 August 2008 (UTC)



And my rebuttal:
QUOTE
That you would respond to an accusation of hypocrisy with another hypocritical deflection of your culpability onto "the Wikipedia community" is no surprise to me, nor to the dozens (or is it now hundreds?) of people who have figured you out, Jimbo. Between the date of our concordat (August 9, 2006) and your blocking my account and defacing my User page (October 5, 2006), I was working quite trouble-free as far as the Wikipedia community was concerned. No, what derailed my enterprise was your reneging on our agreement on October 5, 2006 and using my User page to write a screed against my company (which you've conveniently oversighted, so that nobody can see now how rashly and unethically you acted that day). My troubles with "the community" only followed that moment in time, and so were quite related to you and your decision. You failure to admit that obvious fact is testimony enough of your true character, Jimmy. I can assure you that your life is not improved by fixating on denying every rightful criticism ever leveled against you by anyone. I suppose in your mind, we're all crazy stalkers. You know who I'm talking about -- Larry Sanger, Seth Finkelstein, Giano II, Rachel Marsden, Danny Wool, Owen Thomas, Cade Metz, Andrew Keen, Kelly Martin, Jason Calacanis, Jon Awbrey, etc., etc. We're all just crazy stalkers who don't know the real, kind, gentle, honest, and ethical Jimmy Wales. -- Thekohser 17:47, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
