This is true of any hard fork (unless it only narrowly fixes an existential protocol flaw). It is also true of any UASF, which is no different in practice from a hard fork if miners do not coordinate to support it.

I oppose the Segwit2x hard fork. But I also opposed the BIP148 "soft" fork because it was contentious and could have easily split the network permanently. Accordingly, I have become distrustful of Core developers who promoted it. In particular, I think Luke Dash Jr. acted despicably. He repeatedly claimed falsehoods like, "miners not upgrading is a 51% attack" and "we have consensus for BIP148 because look at these Twitter polls" and "BIP148 is Bitcoin" before it was even enforced on the network.

The No2x crowd leaves a sour taste in my mouth. They threatened a permanent network split with BIP148. I'll never forgive them for that. So I'm honestly less inclined to give a shit about their interests or arguments about Segwit2x. I'll hold through whatever.
