Sorry, but you are wrong on this one. He never apologized for the things he did, and somewhat still supports them or never retracted his support properly. By letting stuff like this happen we are strengthening, and actually encourging attacks and loss of funds that happened to to common Joe believing people like him - Yes, Gavin is both directly and indirectly responsible for uncountable financial damage. Back before these things actually were happening, I was spamming on the forum and people privately left and right to save as many individuals from being burned by the orchestrated scam as I could..

There is a very good difference between the past Gavin (pre-attacks) and the current one. The former deserves much credit and trust, the latter neither. Don't "godify" somebody and/or their contributions just because they were a decent software engineer at the right place and the right time, by chance..
Note: The scaling and all the "fork" stuff thereafter is not "opinion", that's a lie perpetuated by the less intelligent and knowledgeable (Ver et. al.). It is pure science, objective, mathematical science. No room for a "Software Engineer" such as Gavin to have a "opinion". Something is either a 1 or a 0, not an opinion based on who looks at the particular bit.
