I guess it was inevitable. Please enjoy this really, really lame piece of soft-core porn Wikipedia fan fiction: QUOTE "M-Mr. Wales? You wanted to see me?"
Her words jolted me from my trance and I immediately returned to presence.
"Oh, ah... I did want to see you," I nervously stumbled over my words. "I mean ah, well, yes. I wanted to see you - I mean speak to you." She smiled at my nervous attempt to speak, but I knew she was just as nervous as I was. "I mean... I mean call me Jimbo. Jimbo Wales. You don't need to call me Mr. Wales."
She smiled serenely again, a lock of her blue hair falling over her eye. She gently brushed it back into place. Clearly the author hasn't seen those text messages allegedly sent by Jimbo to the completely sane and not crazy at all Rachel Marsden.

There's a big differential.
Precisely. Whether Jimbo has the sex-life of the Marquis de Sade or Saint Teresa of Ãvila makes no difference to the propriety or otherwise of WP's content, nor of the moral responsibility or otherwise of the WMF. Come on now, Doc, the guy is the front man and chief donation solicitor for WMF. His public indiscretions are fair game. At the very least it is another illustration of the culture of irresponsibility that surrounds and permeates Wikipedia. This shouldn't be the most important point of any critique, but it is certainly relevant. Rubbish. How do the man's personal relationships impinge on his ability to do his job? Sure, if there's evidence that he was editing a lover's bio etc, that might be fare comment. But beyond that? This is just part of the "we hate Wales and we'll rip into him with whatever" argument - that justifies commenting on his relationships, marriages and even child-rearing on some basis of "public interest". Now, personally, I'm a moral conservative, who believes in chastity and fidelity, but I will not let that colour my interactions here. I'll comment on what people say, and their responsibility in doing the job they purport to do, I'll not bring my moral compass and impose it on the unconnected antics of others.

Have you every noticed how seldom Larry Flynt speaks on behalf of groups defending free speech despite his sincere commitment to freedom of speech and considerable financial support? That guy has been in a wheel chair for 30 years. Propriety matters in normal charitable and non-profit endeavors. In WMF, not so much.

Why should it matter? And can you define "propriety" please? Well, as long as you asked, is Mr. Wales divorced or still married? In the USA their are only two marital statuses, married or single. "Getting a divorce" or "separated" (absent a rarely used judicial proceeding know as "separate maintenance" made available for people who don't can't divorce for religious reason...hate to belabor this but, you know...) are in fact married. Married people, particularly married people with minor children, ought not to date or have sexual relationships with people who they are not married too. This is know as "adultery" and is a criminal offense in most US jurisdictions. It is also though to be a relevant consideration in determining the fitness of a person to discharge their parental responsibilities. Of course becoming involved in a public break-up with a girlfriend (while still married?) in which sexually related items are sold on eBay is a very bad version of this kind of thing. Of course large bar bills and Russian massage parlors are also pretty bad. This kind of thing would be known as " impropriety." Many Non-profits would frown on this kind of thing for a front man.

I don't care whether he's divorced on married, and I don't care whom he sleeps with. But, I'm flabbergasted by your post. *Separated people "ought not to date"? Can you give me a citation to a legal code that says that? Or are you just assuming Leviticus something or other? *Adultery "is a criminal offense in most US jurisdictions"? Is it? Is it even in one? Does that include California? *"It is also though to be a relevant consideration in determining the fitness of a person to discharge their parental responsibilities." Maybe, but this is a website that's about considering people's responsibilities to run a wiki. Last time a checked this wasn't "Parentworthy Review". *"Of course large bar bills and Russian massage parlors are also pretty bad." That's an old allegation that was made by a disgruntled ex-employee, denied and never authenticated. Dragging it up again without any evidence is scurrilous. *This kind of thing would be known as " impropriety." What kind of thing? And by whom? *"Many Non-profits would frown on this kind of thing for a front man." Fails to answer the question of whether they should, and therefore on what grounds you are critiquing the WMF. That lots of low-grade tabloids muckrake, is a poor excuse for muckraking.

That lots of low-grade tabloids muckrake, is a poor excuse for muckraking. I'm wasting my time with you. While this is not an important part of my critique of Wikipedia, it is relevant and people who raise it should not be criticized for doing so. California does not have a adultery statute. Florida does however: QUOTE CHAPTER 798
ADULTERY; COHABITATION
798.01 Living in open adultery.
798.02 Lewd and lascivious behavior.
798.01 Living in open adultery.--Whoever lives in an open state of adultery shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. Where either of the parties living in an open state of adultery is married, both parties so living shall be deemed to be guilty of the offense provided for in this section.
798.02 Lewd and lascivious behavior.--If any man and woman, not being married to each other, lewdly and lasciviously associate and cohabit together, or if any man or woman, married or unmarried, engages in open and gross lewdness and lascivious behavior, they shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. My recollect as to the "travel expenses" was that he was made to reimburse WMF for inappropriately charged items and the amount was so large he had to do it in installments.
