The mind is a tricky thing - every human can measure the same data and come up with different conclusions.. If you've watched JL777 over the years, you will see that he/she 
generally tightens up with negative pressure.. JL777 probably decided that he could contribute via adding to IOTA tech, vs directly donating, and he did invest a lot to show SuperNET support.. But, like one previous comment, types of contributions are NOT mutually exclusive, and both is an option.. But, the negative pressure can easily be seen as either a form of blackmail or as fair pressure, depending on conditioning, and this reflects negatively on both IOTA and SuperNET.. JL777 does have a history of himself NOT asking for contributions, only requesting investors, so it makes sense he does not support this method. So, I ask all sides to look at the details as NOT that anyone is being unreasonable or scamming, but that given the same set of facts each decided on different approaches of support.. Maybe there can be a cross contribution, JL777 can add IOTA support to his Iguana tech that is getting very close to working now and IOTA can support Iguana Tech.. And... Maybe both groups can purchase and/or donate each others Asset/Coins..
It doesn't have to be a struggle, it can be fun.. It doesn't have to be direct competition, it can be coopetition where all parties support each other while also making their tech the best, than when the time comes, they integrate, making their tech multiply (not additive)..
Just my two cents...
BTW: Yes, years ago I stopped using my Bitcointalk account, since I was not a fan of the trolling.. I created a new account today, just for this single comment..
