 Ken, it's just as important or unimportant as it always was.  There are always going to be people who would like to see a forum laid out like a publishable book, with themselves and those they respect, as the authors, and the contributors (lesser people such as myself) following rules written in stone.  
That's not what a discussion forum is.  You have to take the good (expert participation, fun discussions, passionate hobbyists) along with the bad (petty feuds, people on pedestals, violent disagreements).
Or you go write a book and invite Jim and anyone else you respect, to co-author.  In any case, Jim will be fine and I'm sure we'll see him around soon enough.
