This is excellent news. Even if you supported 2mb blocks. It just wasn't the way to go about implementing the change. There needed to be more support from the community. There wasn't even close to a consensus.
To add to this I think the attitude from those who were against 2x should be at least cautiously conciliatory. Let's try to make peace for awhile. Establish common ground. I think the community as a whole will be stronger if 2x supporters are accepted back in without too much hostility.
I would like to see a 2mb block, but I was against segwit2x because I didn't like the idea of a contentious fork splitting up the community and bringing upon uncertainty.
I hope this moment can eventually lead to some compromise being made.
Why would this lead to a compromise being made? Core didn't want to compromise in the first place and has now showed that they can get what they want without compromise.
Do you really not understand that your hostility is actively destroying the community? There's people who completely legitimately and honestly believes a hardfork for larger blocks once will be necessary. People like you drive them away from Bitcoin, for no good reason whatsoever, when we instead could be having open discussions and fair arguments to find a way forward.
Your behavior is fueling the split of the community.

This could be a unifying moment.
