There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Suspension of other exchanges now for the same problem discredits Gavin's initial statement that the fault was all with Gox.
Only if EVERY other exchange is suspended. If some do and some don't, then those that do share mt gox issue.

Their own problems were their own fault, just like everyone else's problems were THEIR own fault.  The difference is that other more competent exchanges, like BitStamp, fixed their own problem in a timely fashion without drama and blaming everyone else, while Gox is still down.  The problem wasn't that they had buggy software, because that is always going to happen to some extent.

The problem was their destructive and dishonest response to their problem.
