So what? This is Wikimedia Board Members that are setting a precedent for acceptable language on our projects. Jimmy Wales himself gets lauded with virtual high fives for telling a fellow board member they are talking "fucking bullshit", and Jimmy Wales remains the only memorable press/public face for the Wikimedia Foundation.
Blocking volunteers because they use "Jimmy Wales" language and attempting to defend those blocks on wiki-lawyerish grounds, is nonsense and does not convince anyone that the CoC is being applied fairly, rather than with dirty great hobnail boots. Considering the "offence" is not outing or some sort of ghastly harassment, insisting that it cannot be discussed in public, or appealed using a public and transparent procedure, goes against the core values of our movement. Please, go <Jimmy Wales vulgarity> with these fantastic non-rationales.
