It looks like a total mess to me. I see several people on both sides who should be given barn stars for patience, and several people on both sides who should find a new hobby and leave us alone. I leave it to others to figure out which are which. (IMG:

I've decided to call Jimbo out on his BS:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=474040575We all know that he was referring to Fae's defenders as the side who "should be given barn stars for patience" and to the WR as the side who "should find a new hobby and leave us alone." If Jimbo is going to criticize someone, then he shouldn't be wishy-washy about it and saying, "durr hurr I'm not going to tell you which is which durr hurr."
Edit: There's also the use of "several people on both". Is he really referring to both sides? Is he asking to non-WR Wikipedians to "leave us [Wikipedians] alone"? Can the WR be described as "patient"? It makes more sense to apply the word "patient" to those dealing with a RfC/U that a WR user created. In my opinion, Jimbo is saying, "Thank you for being patient with those WR users." If he were really including the WR, then he would've said, "[...] should be given barn stars for
vigilance."
