Since Jimbo's actions do affect everyone who edits Wikipedia, regardless of whether you call that editing capability a "right" or a "privilege" or whatever, I think it's quite reasonable for we the editors to be discussing just what actions Jimbo is capable of and what the implications of them may be. The fact that some trolls or other ne'er-do-wells may also be listening in is unfortunate but I don't see how to avoid it and I certainly don't see preventing it as something worth squelching the discussion over.
Well said. :)
