Can someone find the diff where Jimbo encourages vandalizism. I searched all the links given and I looked at Jimbo's contribs and couldn't find it.
Jimbo's statement is
here, as later augmented with
this. The "leave it alone" was angrily denounced by Zoe as tantamount to allowing vandalism
here, and also with
this testy remark on Jimbo's talk page, and by making this
user page change.
I didn't write the thread title, and I'm not a big fan of Jimbo, but in cases like these, with a significant potential for blowback against Wikipedia's interests, Jimbo fairly uniformly chooses expedience over the more Puritan ("thou hast transgressed and must be punished!") leanings of his minions.
