I think that Jimbo might have sligthly more pressing matters than 
investigating himself all disputes on the english wikipedia. He 
certainly do cares and would regret a lot that abuse is practiced, but 
any investigation takes a lot of time. This is why an arbcom was set. So 
that an instance can be delegated power by Jimbo and by the community to 
consider such things.

So, for any such issue, you should first of all consider turning to the 
arbcom, and trust the arbcom to take the right decision; and see Jimbo 
as the final person you can go to when ALL OTHER means have failed (to 
your opinion).
