I am discussing his actions as "governor" here, and his role here (and on related projects like Commons), as e.g. described in [[WP:AP]]. [[Dictator]]: "In modern usage, the term "dictator" is generally used to describe a leader who holds and/or abuses an extraordinary amount of personal power, especially the power to make laws without effective restraint by a legislative assembly". He has the power and right to undo admin and arbcom actions, to wheel war, to ignore policies, and so on. Please indicate which other term I should have used instead of "benevolent dictator" to describe this.

:::::::::As a general comment, I do not think a Wikipedia, without its Founder, would be anything like it is now and would eventually fail. It is his brainchild and his innovation and he is an integral part of its preservation. I am not well-versed in the bureaucracy of Wikipedia but I will say that all organizations, corporations, institutions that live and breathe undergo changes as need may dictate. In addition, I and many others have noticed a particular mean-spiritness from within Wikipedia toward him in particular and the project in general. I do not know if this is some power-struggle or just editors that like the looks of their words in print expressing no core beliefs (as I said before), and the worst offenders are SPA's created, it seems, only to offend yet wanting to be anonymous and continue to edit under another username. ''I want to stress that these comments do not apply to Fram obviously'' but to many others. If Mr. Wales changes a rule or on rare occasion countermands a decision or unbans an editor due to a extenuating circumstance while trying to maintain the credibility of Wikipedia in a changing negative atmosphere or a particular situation that, it seems to me, it is his right. I have not seen any real evidence of abuse by him but I have by others. I believe I know some of them though they hide behind a temporary IP and they are, for the most part, troublemakers. If they made any of the same kind and tone of statements on an article talk page to an editor they would be immediately blocked by an administrator and for good reason. If I have explained this badly I think most editors understand the gist. [[User:Mugginsx|Mugginsx]] ([[User talk:Mugginsx|talk]]) 15:36, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Personally, I think that http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AJimbo_Wales&action=historysubmit&diff=466011804&oldid=466008243 deserves censoring much more simply to protect readers who have not been forewarned from vomiting at the sheer grossness of the act of arse-licking that it portrays.

This isn't the first time Jimbo has had to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jimbo_Wales&diff=372356600&oldid=372353824 Fram's lunacy.
