I'm not saying Core is evil, although I am defending Gavin for the obvious reason that he does not deserve to be vilified merely for having an opinion, especially after having contributed so much to bitcoin.
Oh, the irony present here is lovely: "we must never forget" == my opinion; so I deserve to be vilified ("lying", "hypocrisy", etc.) for having an opinion while Gavin does not?
Remember, you are the one who started the shit slinging.
Nope, I have started nothing. Do you see me say anywhere that e.g. 'Gavin is bad'? I haven't said anything bad about either one of them and have stated something that is a reasonable course of action once someone does something bad. The only person that I've used a 'bad adjective' to describe in this incident is CW.
You tried to insinuate that Gavin/Matonis were part of some insidious plot along with Craig. Unless you're just trying to push some agenda, you have to know that isn't true. That is definitely shit-slinging and you should not expect not to get called out on it. And yes, you did start it.
