> It is about time that we stop tolerating nonsense and come back to a place where most of us value (proof of) work, ideas, and selflessness instead of overblown emotional reactions, unbacked wild claims and adhesion to various cults.

Anyway, in the unlikely event I can restrain myself, this will be my last comment on this topic.

Well worth taking a deep breath, touching grass, and then coming back and reading in its entirety, and then taking another deep breath, and finally and most importantly thinking for yourself.

I have seen enough emotional reactions and unbacked claims in his tweets. Even this post is less technical and mostly arrogance.

From a PR point of view I agree that tone matters. But I find it unreasonable to expect people to be very nice and friendly when they're attacked by a brigade of mostly bad faith actors, whether it's just people who refuse to read up on a topic before expressing their strong opinion, or actually targeted attacks to intimate developers into not writing or reviewing code.

That, and he's just French :-)

Well, I am not the one who wrote this blog post and is asking others to change their behavior.

Love me some Bitcoin drama, it makes me dive into details about how Bitcoin work and take action. I always learn a lot from all this drama. eg The block size war in 2017 really kick started my Bitcoin journey and made me a smallblock Bitcoin maxi. It also wiped my shitcoining ass clean.

Most of the people critical of Core haven’t even bothered to listen to both sides of the argument. They’re hysterical and jump straight into an ideological crusade.
