Bitcoin has an ethos, not perfectly shared by everyone, but reasonably universal in the community. Part of that ethos is opposition to censorship. We can debate what constitutes "unreasonable censorship," but I think most people, and importantly most of Core, felt the reddit censorship was wrong. Most people in Core denounced it privately, but not publicly, and the public largely misperceived that as Core endorsing, or even causing, the censorship. This is again a matter of communication. Core made enemies because of its silence, over an issue that wasn't' even contentious, largely.

Was anybody on Theymos's side?


Forgive my petulance and oft-times, I fear, ill-founded criticisms, and forgive me that I have, by this time, made your eyes and head ache with my long letter. But I cannot forgo hastily the pleasure and pride of thus conversing with you.
