It's disappointing how prominent people like Gregory Maxwell and Samson Mow have helped in spreading vicious rumors that I've been compromised or sold my account.
You can't reasonably believe that unless you have proof. Source?

It's all just a smear campaign organized by people associated with Blockstream.
Source?

The fact that something so obvious needs to be stated is a testament to how so many in this community have become paranoid and are in a state of permanently waiting for the next "enemy of Bitcoin" to show themselves.
Disagreed. We've seen hijacking before (recently @Bitcoin twitter handle), and being cautious isn't a bad thing. Roger Ver is pretty much down for anything to get his way from what I can tell.

If this account was hijacked, it could just shill Bitcoin Cash on bitcoin.org, so I doubt they believe I've actually been compromised, it's just a means to smear me. They're very tribalistic and emotionally sensitive, so any opinion outside of their small overton window of acceptable thought scares them, and they react by launching personal attacks and smear campaigns.
