For example, security researcher Nicholas Weaver from UC Berkeley wrote that the IOTA team were drooling idiots in a tweet on Sunday
Interesting, what makes researchers of his level use such words? The words only show lack of other arguments and don't help him to keep good reputation among other researchers...
True. That only makes him look like a drooling idiot. I am amazed to see that IOTA has driven some of those academic researchers crazy and lose their self-control. They looked like trolls and talked like trolls. So they are trolls.
