continuing to accuse Jimbo of lying
That is a complete fabrication on your part. Show the evidence or apologize.
"The leader of Wikipedia should know by now what kind of firestorm his comments can raise when they are completely factual. So when he irresponsibly uses data that was deleted more than a month ago as though it were still current the results are bound to be chaotic. "
That pretty clearly shows that you think Jimbo deliberately made unfactual comments.
Now, since the evidence that you were completely wrong in throwing your accusations around has shown itself, apologize period.
Not at all. There is nothing in there to imply "deliberately". Lack of attention to details, or negligence, or erroneous interpretation are but a few circumstnces that can lead to statements that are not completely factual. I do not deny that I referred to an irresponsible action, which is why I was careful to remove that when I responded to you. Irresponsibility, nevertheless, is a substantially lesser sin than a deliberate lie, and your extrapolation is totally unwarranted and offensive.
If I want to call anyone a liar, I have no need to avail myself of circumlocutions.
