Sort of makes you wonder if the rest of the stuff I say that people immediately try to dismiss is worth taking a closer look at...

Dude. That helping-yourself-to-airdrops thing stunk up your reputation bad. You went behind theymos' back and used the coins that you were entrusted with for personal gain; I'm not talking about the minor forkcoins you were gifted, I'm talking about the airdrops that you somehow concluded you were personally entitled to. If at any point you said something along the lines of: "You know what? That was actually wrong of me, and I'm sorry that I did that.", then, I think more people would take you seriously. (If you have already apologized, and I missed that, then please accept my apology for still giving you shit about it, but all I've ever read about it from you has been the insistence that you did nothing wrong.)

On-topic: In the context of the existing mixer ban, I think theymos made the right call here. Technically, Jambler is doing the mixing, not the partner site(s). If you read their FAQ, 2.6 states (emphasis mine): "Jambler.io conducts and provides all financial transactions, for this reason a letter of guarantee is issued by the platform itself."; the fact that their model makes you interact with their backend through a third party, doesn't really change anything. I mean, it's a bummer, and I hate this the-cypherpunks-won-the-battle-but-lost-the-war road that Bitcointalk seems to be heading down, but, yeah, it is what it is... (It's not like theymos can thumb his nose at the regulators and the ongoing crackdown on privacy; decisions made long ago mean that Bitcointalk's whole technical and legal setup is too fragile to withstand a conflict of that nature.)
