I like it, because the discussion would give everyone the opportunity to judge for themselves what's the truth, and what's bullshit.
I used to also believe that scaling Bitcoin would be as easy as a hard fork to big blocks. But the more I learned, I found out that it wasn't. Big blocks are inherently centralizing. We know that Gavin, Mike Hearn, and Faketoshi know it, but why were they pushing for it?

They were against anything that Core developed and implemented, because they wanted the control. This is why they forked off
, for them to have full control over their own shitcoin. I believe they forked off because they really thought that a large part of the community will follow them. Bitmain would never risk selling Bitcoin for Bitcoin Cash if they didn't, and it cost them a lot in my opinion.

They could not take over Bitcoin with XT, so they tried a new angle with Bitcoin Cash and this gave them control over their own coin to implement what they wanted.
There was Bitcoin Classic and Bitcoin Unlimited before that. It was a socio-political attack that failed.
