But he put himself in that position where he can be an easy target.
how?was it him saying he is happy to let blockstream do their LN(paypal2.0) if they let bitcoins mainnet dynamically grow.

He did the moment he started promoting Bitcoin Unlimited. I personally do not see anything wrong with it. It is politics and man by nature is political. We lie, coerce and do whatever it takes behind the scenes to reach a goal that we think is worth fighting for. That is ok. What I do not like about the whole thing is the tasteless name calling from both sides of which I am guilty of sometimes. Chalk that up to human nature again I guess.
