That's a pretty weak argument.
By your logic, if Jimbo can't write articles, why
does he make us
do them and then get in trouble with the press when
controversial issues
arise? If he can't do them himself, they should stay
unwritten.
I think his argument, (and if it isn't, it's possibly a stronger argument), is that it's not up to certain un-named admins to delete userboxes on Jimbo's behalf, based only on their interpretation of Jimbo's statements on the issue, because if Jimbo really wanted userboxes to go he'd say so.

That's the main argument. The other argument is that Jimbo is using proxies to do his work, which would otherwise make him a target of criticism. Not that he isn't a target already, but it seems he wants to redirect the criticism onto others.
