on August 10, 2010 Bitcoin was hacked and 184 billion BTC were created. 

... and ... you are whinging about what, exactly?

The fact that the community as a whole decided to effectively 'roll back the hack', invalidate the 184 billion fake BTC, and return the distribution to that of time t minus one block?

Yeah, I see how this is clearly synonymous with barons of monetary capital screwing the poor downtrodden developers.

Not.

The complaint appears to be that they did not roll-back all the blocks (ie: create a new genesis block), rather than just roll-back a hand-full.

I gave up trying to find a thread about the original incident, and just put them on ignore.
