Was it my imagination, or wasnt there a lot of complaints about the name?

As I pointed out a few pages back the complaints about the name declined over time and essentially stopped once the price stopped dropping.

If the rename had been proposed 2-3 months ago I'm sure the response would have been quite different.

As a dev for XMR, maybe it is best if you abstained from this discussion?
it just seems a bit strange you are one of the most vocal critics against this

I think jwinterm's point is valid, though we would all do well to minimize the sarcasm and at least stay respectful and polite. We can all have opinions and shouldn't be attacked for our other projects.

AFAIK everyone here has some BBR and is interested in the project.

Regarding me being a vocal critic, I've said several times (maybe James hasn't been following all the posts) that I favor the name change, just found the process off putting. That I happen to be the one saying this is irrelevant because clearly others feel the same way.

EDIT: that said, I think James's point about my presence being potentially inflammatory is valid, so I will step out until things cool down a bit. Anyone who wants my opinion on something can PM and ask me.
