We should embrace the concept of Bitcoin being able to split. If you think that this would make Bitcoin lose its value then you should leave now.
Thanks for the arrogant statement - how about you just leave instead?
Since I do not have a reason to leave, it seems like you might have a reason to leave according to your own conceptions. If you think that a split will lead to Bitcoin having no value, and I think splits are guaranteed over the long run. It follows to reason that maybe you should not be in Bitcoin. Considering that anyone can split the chain even with a small minority, if you think that this would destroy Bitcoin then Bitcoin is already dead, anyone could manufacture a split. I do not think that Bitcoin is this vulnerable myself.

Thinking that Bitcoin will never split, is like thinking that we should all just agree with each other for the rest time till the end of time. History, economics and human nature does support this presumption. It also does not align well with my conceptions of freedom.
