There is a difference between "honest debate" and "campaigns of disinformation." And it's an important distinction to make. Notice that I said disinformation to suggest the intentional and deliberate nature of the false information being spread. No matter how many times the unproven fear mongering/misinformation [about Segwit/soft fork capabilities, Blockstream control of bitcoin development, the catastrophic implications of "full blocks," the immediate threat of altcoins overtaking bitcoin, etc.] is refuted, there is a distinct group of shills that simply repeat it. Ad nauseum. All over bitcointalk, twitter, reddit. That includes Gavin Andresen and Brian Armstrong (Coinbase employees/executives pushing for shareholder interests).

Perhaps more importantly: I firmly believe that releasing an incompatible/adversarial client that intends to fork the network without consensus--and still call itself "bitcoin"--is an attack on the network. I think deliberately spreading disinformation--and it's become pretty clear to any intelligent person that this is what's happening--is an attack on bitcoin and the developers who maintain it. That's without taking into account the incessant personal attacks and accusations of "blocking development."

We can agree to disagree.
