I'm not sure what event you're talking about, but is it related with user activated soft fork (UASF) or user activated hard fork (UAHF)?
A little earlier than that. When all that controversy first arose over the "Bitcoin XT" client. I can see why it was rejected by the community, but still felt a small minority went about it in a decidedly underhand and deceptive way. Deliberately fudging the numbers to alter perceptions and such.
