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.
