let us be clear here what happens when monero is forked - it will be attacked by a) the existing monero community b) the other cryptonotes c) darkcoin d) shills.
They are going to attack us anyway.
We fought off numerous technical and psychological attacks and won. More power to us.
The real question is: Can we justify our actions?
Now Monero is mined by relatively small community which is unfair towards later adaptors.
