Should Karpeles resign from the Bitcoin Foundation?

[Tzupy]

According to cryptocoinsnews, there's a petition to remove Mark Karpeles from the board of the Bitcoin Foundation.
I'd like to see the opinion of the forum dwellers on this matter. I wanted to add a 5th option, but it would have been too harsh...

I believe one of the main goals of the BF is to promote Bitcoin. M.K. has done nothing but put the blame on Bitcoin for his own failings. Such a person should not be on the board.

This. He should be removed.

Whatever the outcome of the Mtgox fiasco, we know one thing for certain:

The guy is a PR disaster zone.

He lashes out when he should accept blame, stays quiet when he should talk, talks when he should shut up, and even then says completely the wrong thing.

For this reason alone, and there are many others, he's totally unsuitable for a high-profile role in the Bitcoin Foundation.

Now, that also begs the question: why do we need a self-appointed "Bitcoin Foundation" at all?
