People make mistakes, usually on both sides of any disputed issue. Usually, over time upon taking thought these mistakes can be corrected. A major project like Wikipedia with a bright future deserves handling with some perspective. One bad editor, RK, and one misjudgment, Jimbo's, do not somehow make an entire project worthless.
Regarding Jimbo: I think it is important that you create an account under some persona, edit some articles, get into an edit war or two, and in general get grounded in the realities of this project.

Hello,
I just wanted to congratulate the English wikipedia on Dannies departure. I am sure the neutrality and objectivity of Wikipedia will very much profit from it.
I still have not really understood why he left. I can't help to think that it *can't* be just because of Jimbo's comments.
