I read it. Princeton needs to rethink their strategy of admitting students of the OP's caliber. Nothing earth shattering was discovered in that post at all. Just an excuse to strong arm people and it didn't work short term for some reason. 
Nothing earth shattering? How is purposeful deception not earth shattering? Based on the information provided we now know not to trust a group of cryptocurrencies that are most likely churned out by the same coin mill. I think that's pretty earth shattering.
The purposeful (or otherwise) deception was well known. Those who are into Monero already knew about the Bytecoin scam, others were not taken seriously anyway. Some of the posts thanking the OP were fluffy in nature, meaning they already are in the Monero ecosystem and didn't care about the coin mill CN coins.
