I've seen Jimbo make this argument as well.   Say, in essence, "The
community couldn't reach a consensus, so I imposed mine own will in an
effect to spur the community to consensus. "

Well, it worked-- as a result of his acctions, there is an incredibly
strong consensus that Jimbo can no longer be trusted with the tools.
