I try to understand what happened, but I'm not sure whether the pieces that I found so far add up.
* Larry Sanger is mad about Wikimedia. [apparent] * Larry Sanger notifies the FBI and tells them Wikimedia hosts child porn. [affirmed] * The FBI is rather unimpressed and does not take swift action. [apparent] * Larry Sanger informs media about us alleging Wikimedia of hosting porn. [unaffirmed] * The (conservative) TV station FOX reports about Wikimedia and contacts many important companies that have donated money for Wikimedia in the past whether they want to comment on the allegations. [affirmed] * The companies are contacting Wikimedia to ask what's going on. [unaffirmed] * The board worries about losses in donations and either sends Jimbo to Commons or Jimbo unilaterally decides to handle the case. [unaffirmed] * Without mentioning the previous developments Jimbo starts to delete all files that are "porn" (in his opinion, not sparing PD-old artworks etc.). Even engaging in edit-warring and ignoring input from the Commons community and ignoring community policies. [affirmed] * The Commons community condemns Jimbo's actions but has no power at all to stop the "Founder"-flagged berserk. [affirmed] Is this the story? Or are there any story arcs that I missed? Please correct me, wherever I am wrong.
