Toomim on wechat (I think). Gives a little more insight to what has happened, and what he thinks, agree or disagree... worth a read if you can handle it... loooong.

There's even some stuff relevant to the WO-thread here:

1|申屠青春:2016-01-20 07:29:30:Chinese central bank want to issue digital currency...
1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 07:29:43:(indeed. big news)
1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 07:29:49:(thanks for the update)
1|Jonathan Toomim:2016-01-20 07:30:02:oh darn, i already sold my bitcoin to pay for electricity a few days ago...
1|Jonathan Toomim:2016-01-20 07:30:06:wish i had waited
1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 07:30:12:
1|申屠青春:2016-01-20 07:30:20:[Grin]

Guy Cohen has a great line in adversarial cross examination! weasel words, statements dressed as questions, the lot.
And finally this: (referring to nodes)

1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 09:03:39:or someone can fake it as well ?

So, its just iceBreaker/Adam Back, just better trained.

This is funny: (afer JT describes core_POW change as an alt coin)

Quote

1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 09:11:15:With you permission, I want to call it Core + PoW change fork
1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 09:11:21:And not altcoin
1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 09:11:23:Ok ?

Even funnier....

Quote

1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 09:22:33:Let's assume Core is implementing both changes
1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 09:22:38:And we have different PoW
1|Jonathan Toomim:2016-01-20 09:22:45:they

1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 09:22:54:sure
1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 09:23:02:(It's bad translation from Hebrew)
1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 09:23:08:We as a community

From hebrew. No forks in hebrew.

He has a serious isue with core-pow being called an altcoin, I'm surprised JT didnt pick up on it and leverage it.

Quote

1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 09:30:12:That both ClassicCoin and CoreCoin are alt coins and the OldCoreCoins are the real one
1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 09:30:22:I know that there are some people still using old clients
1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 09:30:28:And call those coins BTC
1|Jonathan Toomim:2016-01-20 09:30:34:right, the original bitcoin has a 32 MB blocksize limit
1|Jonathan Toomim:2016-01-20 09:30:39:we stopped using Bitcoin years ago
1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 09:30:41:indeed

So we have been buying alt-coins for the last 4 years according to Mr. Cohen.

I'll stop now as I'm bored as you probably are.

Still, I think Toomim did prety good, for someone with no legal/PR training.

It's clear that Toomin assumed Guy Corems stated objective was the real goal of the conversation and accepted it.

1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 06:19:46:Hi Jonathan

1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 06:20:01:Care to discuss possible governance change ?
1|申屠青春:2016-01-20 06:21:39:@jl2012 那是反社会了，马上被弹劾。
1|申屠青春:2016-01-20 06:22:05:下台
1|Jonathan Toomim:2016-01-20 06:22:46:in public?
1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 06:22:53:Yes
1|Jonathan Toomim:2016-01-20 06:22:55:i'm open to a possible governance change
1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 06:22:58:The only right way to do it

1|Jonathan Toomim:2016-01-20 06:23:06:olivier will probaby get annoyed with me for doing it in public
1|Jonathan Toomim:2016-01-20 06:23:08:and marshall
1|Jonathan Toomim:2016-01-20 06:23:11:and mike
1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 06:23:14:please do
1|teksongbu:2016-01-20 06:23:19:why?
1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 06:23:22:Thay's the correct way to do it, IMHO
1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 06:23:34:Bitcoin world should be open free and clear of intrigues

But it becomes clear that he has something else in mind:

Quote

1|Jonathan Toomim:2016-01-20 10:05:39:i think the majority of devs want to work on the majority coin, and won't want to play chicken once it's clear which one that is
1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 10:05:58:Why do you object to my vision of comeptition ?
1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 10:06:04:Isn't competition good ?
1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 10:06:17:I mean, you didn't want to git-cherry pick ?

Quote

1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 10:29:45:Once you are forced to do Hard Fork once
1|Guy Corem:2016-01-20 10:30:04:And see that it's not hat terrible (my believe, not core), they'll do it more often Wink
