While I do not know Danny well, I've worked with him on the wiki for  
years and had several conversations with him. Nothing in any of those  
conversations has led me to believe that he would be keen to "ruin"  
anybody.

I have no particular opinion on whether he is right or wrong in his  
accusations. I suspect, in practice, the answer is somewhere in  
between - Jimbo probably made some decisions that were not necessarily  
the best, but I would be shocked at any malfeasance on his part. But  
the idea that Danny is some black-hatted villain bent on destroying  
the project and Jimbo is equally ridiculous.
