1, advocating for methods of sybil attacking is not a good way to go(one person running more then one node for no other purpose then to skew stats)
it doesnt matter if its a core fanboy or a classic fanboy. both parties should not try sybil attacks. or ddos, or transaction spam attacks

A Sybil Attack is defined (at least by Wikipedia) as, "an attack wherein a reputation system is subverted by forging identities in peer-to-peer networks." I don't believe my choice to run ten Classic nodes comes close to qualifying under this definition. Also, how many people have foregone running a classic node because they feared a DDoS attack or experienced one? I would argue that I am trying to deskew the stats -- and let's not forget that more nodes benefits the network as well.

2. though classic is one implementation. there is alot of background drama involved. so what could be done better is to get the programmers of bitcoinj, btcd, and the other main implementations to go for 2mb aswell. and find a way to get blockstream to come to their senses to have 2mb aswell.

I agree with some of what you are saying here, but I don't want to digress into a technical discussion on the relative merits of the different approaches to solve the congestion problem. It should be sufficient to acknowledge that a solution is needed, and that certain special interest groups are going out of their way to prevent the simplest and most obvious solution from being implemented. I wouldn't mind if they were using discourse to push their agenda, but they are using cyber-terrorism to force it on the community and that should never be tolerated.
