Well, whoever wanted to split the community the way Gavin and Mike did, DESERVES TO FAIL.
You talk to people if you want changes, you do not introduce parallel BTC.
Do you also dislike having several political candidates to vote on?
Having a choice is always good and we need more of that. This is how open source works.
There's no need to have Bitcoin controlled by a single developer group, in fact it's dangerous and we should always be able to fork / move to another client if necessary. (more options the better)
You have no need to worry. The BIP 101 fork will only happen if a good majority of the Bitcoin economy thinks it's better. If it's worse, then it won't get adopted.
It's not good to have such a fit (shouting with all caps) over a freedom to choose.
