SlimVirgin, you seem to have missed this question.
Look, it's obvious. Jay did something - rightly or wrongly - and many people
are unhappy about how he went about it. Presumably, if CharlotteWebb was
first asked to explain when they first used an open proxy to edit, as you
claim, if no response was given the account would have been blocked for
using open proxies, and the matter sent to ANI, which it wasn't.
All you're doing is defending Jay to the core without even accepting what he
did could be even *seen* as being highly inappropriate, and it does raise
questions (as it has in the past). Without insinuating anything further, I
think you might want to step back just ever-so-slightly and re-look the case
over.
On the matter itself I think that the concerns that this was aimed at
sinking the RFA are founded. However, I think it would be a fair assumption
of good faith to say that Jay probably wasn't thinking of sinking the RFA
when he posted that question. However, the question could certainly have
been asked by email, instead of throwing the dirty laundry out into public.
It probably wouldn't be enough, but a simple "I shouldn't have done
that"
(use the RFA to ask it) from Jay would probably satisfy most people that he
made an error in judgement.
Just my two cents.

Well, no. The first s/he heard about it was when s/he first used an
open proxy to edit.
Evidence?
