I guess Gavin and Mike need to go back to their masters and beg for forgiveness for their failure with XT and come up with something the community wants. They will have a much bigger fan base, when they put something on the table with features serving the users interest.
The XT Shills needs to crawl back into the holes they came from and the divided Bitcoin community need to lick their wounds and hold hands and sing until we face the next civil war. ^hmf^
Due to MH's long track record of proposing really bad ideas, followed by his latest attempt to force them with both a code fork and a protocol fork with his pipe dream of taking over the code running Bitcoin, I don't see him recovering respect again from those of us who believe in the core principles of Bitcoin. He'll probably spend the rest of his life trying to get rich on the sidelines while trying to convince big money overlords he can still deliver. He can change his name, but he'll have a hard time changing his easy to recognize appearance.
Gavin has a better chance of recouping respect, although it will be a long hard road if he decides to pursue it.
