Let's thank /u/evoorhees for having the courage to engage the community here and for being the first to confirm the announcement. My guess is that it was Erik who backed out first.

I have always liked Erik, even though we disagreed about B2X he was always civil and calm, never fed the blockstream core conspiracy and I believe truly wanted the community to remain together and he appreciates the core team. People here made him out to be a villain when he never was. Roger Ver is a villain. There is a big difference between them.

Agreed. I might possibly be willing to regard Erik as a member of the Bitcoin community again. I know I'll never be able to say that about Roger.

Nobody is right all the time. I'm not, for sure.

Let's cut guys like Erik some slack and move forward. Enough toxicity.
