  2. Kel-nage - How can the beard go?
  3. Splarka (rant) - He might want to join ZZ Top someday.
  4. Tagishsimon - You can turn him upsidedown and hardly notice the difference. That has to be useful, non?

  7. Fernando Rizo - I have already started legal action to have any and all razor blades, knives, cheese graters and other potential beard-shaving devices seized from Mr. Wales' home.
  8.  BD2412 talk 01:15, August 22, 2005 (UTC). Beardlessness leads to shaving, shaving leads to razor burn, razor burn leads to suffering.
  9. Jwrosenzweig 03:04, 22 August 2005 (UTC) As a bearded Wikipedian myself, I promote the preservation of our unique subculture.
  10. Amren (talk) 03:12, 22 August 2005 (UTC) Ruggedness is a thing to be proud of.

  13. Snargle 23:52, 22 August 2005 (UTC) It looks okay to me...
  14. Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 20:12, August 25, 2005 (UTC) w00t4tehbeard. Power to the whiskers!
  15. --Elysianfields 05:31, 26 August 2005 (UTC) All dictators have beards, even benevolent ones

  18. Merovingian (t) (c) 02:55, August 29, 2005 (UTC) I'll donate my two chin hairs... someday.
  19. Andre (talk) 00:48, August 31, 2005 (UTC) I'm a goatee man myself.
  20. Silence 02:18, 31 August 2005 (UTC) Bearded is beautiful. And, frankly, I'm most sick of the excessive attention the media has been giving to this beard. Haven't the beard and its family suffered enough already? Just let them be.
  21. Some of the greatest minds in history had facial hair and got away with it. If the beard must come off, it should at least be after collecting the Nobel Prize. JFW | T@lk 22:33, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
  22. You MUST leave the beard. You Will leave the beard. — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 17:42, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
  23. Jdavidb 17:12, 7 September 2005 (UTC) I am very much in favor of keeping the beard long-term, as I am usually bearded myself. However, I would respect a suggestion that Jimbo offer to shave his beard in an auction to raise funds for Wikipedia, provided he plans to regrow the beard afterward. So how about it, Jimbo? Why not auction off the shaving or non-shaving of your beard?

  26. → P.MacUidhir (t) (c) 10:21, 1 January 2006 (UTC) - If he shaves it, I will call for a general Wikistrike. Power to the editors! Keep the beard or Wikipedia dies! Arrrr...  ::wanders away looking confused::
  27. I'm against the shaving. Didn't Solomon lose his powers when he cut his hair?Rob 16:01, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
    I believe you're thinking of Samson. Picaroon9288 02:46, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
  28. I can't believe I'm signing this. I'm supposed to be an exopedian, dammit! But I can't deny the truth: the beard looks good. – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 13:33, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  29. I am pro-facial hair. He needs the beard to remain the Chuck Norris of Wikipedia! EdGl 02:44, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
  30. The beard cannot be sheared! Can't sleep, clown will eat me 13:53, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    Can't sleep, clown will shave me. Thanks for putting that nightmare in his head. Femto 14:19, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  31. Nuge talk 01:11, 24 April 2006 (UTC)My main concern is that Jimmy's beard is a lot like Samson's hair, and Wikipedia's source of power will be lost upon shaving...

  33. Strong keep per WP:beArrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. --Zoz (t) 00:27, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A Soliloquy in favour of Jimbo's beard

To shave or not to shave that is the question,
whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer,
The cuts and pains of old and rusty blades,
Or to wear a beard against a wiki of shavers,
And by opposing end them? —To block, —to sleep,—
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The wikification, and the thousand minor edits
That 'pedians are heir to, —'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, —to sleep;—
To edit! perchance to improve: —ay, there's the joy;
For with that dearth of facial hair what m:grants may come,
When you have shaved off this trademark beard,
Must give us pause: there's the abuse
That would remove that so long since grown;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of vandals,
The oppressor's wrong, the clean-shaven man's envy,
The pangs of despis'd love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That a Bearded Wonder must take,
When with his facial hair he himself might quake.
With a bare top lip? who would these infidels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of being shaved after death,—
The undiscover'd country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns,—puzzles the will,
And makes us shudder to democratise our faces
Than fly to others razors that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make baldies of us all;
And thus the native hue of Jimbo's chin
Is sicklied not with the melanin of tan;
And enterprises of great import and moment,
Without this beard, achievements turn awry,
And lose the Free software action.

(Hamlet, III.i, William Shavespeare ca. 1600 / Thryduulf ca. 12:00 - 12:46, 22 August 2005 (UTC))
