do you see his handling of the PressCenter.org situation as being reasonable or were you not around at that time to know?
I got into Bitcoin in mid-2012. Looks like it was before my time, unless I missed something.
well, no. it occurred April 2013.
since you said you've been reading all about Greg and the other devs to get a better understanding of them, you should add this to your reading list. it's a big part of the story to understanding:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=181168.msg1973084#msg1973084have you ever heard Andreas or Trace Mayer get so mad? such language!
and then this gem of an interaction in which i participated:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.org/pull/162note how gmax and Luke pull the same perverted "consensus" argument out of there pocket in a political battle where they, as a minority of 5(?) devs argued their wishes should hold sway over just about the entire community's? for color, Andreas got so mad, he coded up the alternative press center that exists today in fine fashion. gmax just yesterday, fails to learn and takes a cheap shot by saying his failed exclusion of Ver back then was "vindicated" by the Ripple action just a couple months ago. which totally ignores the well functioning, long lasting site Andreas was forced to code up that still includes Ver to this day.
