Not that this makes me any better than anyone at anything. It just made me personally involved with countless victims. We are talking about all kinds of losses - from very small to very detrimental (almost going bankrupt) because of Gavin (and others). I can't say "it's okay, what has happened has happened" after witnessing this. I am not asking you to hate him or to vilify him, but I ask you to also consider why people like me have the perspective on him that we do - and why we must act on it, as not acting on it would represent a fundamental self-betrayal (and that of the victims we had a chance to interact with).

OK, fair enough.

I see where you're coming from.  The problem is that Faketoshi has become such a sore point for many that even the perception of a partial endorsement needs to be challenged.  Have to be really careful about how we word things now.  Your clarification makes sense to me, so I hope that's as far as it goes.  I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that this is not something users will start falling out over on a regular basis.

Somehow this:

So Gavin believes there's an equal chance that Craig is a "master scammer." The narrative that he completely believes Wright is Satoshi has been bogus since before BSV was even an idea. Either way, he clearly says Wright should be ignored. You never see BSVers talk about this blog entry when they talk about Gavin, its always a YouTube clip of an interview he gave _before_ he wrote this post.

got misconstrued into meaning this:

You are defending him because he says there’s an “equal chance” that Craig Wright is either a scammer or Satoshi!?

I suppose I should have just answered the question by saying "no."
