in case classic classic wins and gavin would act as a benevolent dictator it would just lead to another fork which fixes it.
That's too difficult to understand. They've forgot why they needed a blockchain in the first place.
what is your problem with a bitcoin fork?
i think its the best way to decide blockchain related questions.
The problem is well known and quite simple, any member of totalitarian society is afraid of free vote. Actually, I think that such attacks against Gavin are no better than Gavin's attacks against Luke-Jr and BIP17 were. Maybe he deserved this, but who are we to judge him unconditionally?

I don't support this so-called "Bitcoin classic", this idea seems completely idiotic for me. But this is just an opinion and such issues should be resolved by vote. DDoS attacks, ad hominem statements or whatever similar tactics are no better than assassination of opposition figures in the real life. This kind of behaviour is childish and unconstructive.
