Isn't fixing the problems as they were discovered proof enough for you that they didn't want those fuck ups to be permanent?
If you fucked up, then tried to fix your fuck ups and I stood there dwelling on your fuck ups, would you be impressed with my attitude?
Have you ever been in management? In charge of anything? Do you know how to run a company?
Man you sure try to spin words, I am saying the hardfork was a fuck up, not well though out and implemented without testing, having to patch things up is proof of this. Have you ever heard of doing things right the first time and then not having to do them again? What does being in management have to do? I have always been an employee but having worked with a lot of IT guys I do know they usually screw things up, patch them and then try to move the blame elsewhere, that is a permanent way they use to cover their asses. By the way I am 57 years old and have worked with IT guys for at least 25 years.
Being in management means you'd know how to run a staff and how to react when they fuck up. I could tell by your reaction. You've not been in charge before. I promise you, they feel like shit. I can tell you, they wanted things to go smoothly. Nobody planned for this to happen, they felt ready, I'm sure of it.
It didn't go smoothly. Shit happens man. It really does. Some people get it, some don't. Some overreact. Some shout. Some can handle it.
In my opinion. The reaction of some and their impatience did far more damage to this community than the hardfork itself. You coming here, showing you're still not able to come to terms with it, that's not helping. It's easy to say something like, "I would have handled it differently." Words like that can only come after though. It's in the past.
So many were blinded by the fuck ups, and that made it impossible to see the benefits. There are pros and cons to everything. This is life.
No they didn't, just read what @ned has to say about it, he actually blames the witnesses.
I read everything there long ago. There's also a comment where he clearly says he's accepting blame. These things depend on context though. Context that isn't included here. You're making sure to leave some parts out? That's possible. Purely speculation.

I began mentioning it much more strongly prior to the hardfork when some Witnesses began admitting they hadn’t read the release notes and some top 20 Witnesses only began testing two days prior to the proposed HF. Ask Lukestokes or Reggaemuffin who began prompting Witnesses for their published standards and when.
Yup, I read that. And you left out the other part.
Implying I am leaving out something but not saying what? You make a lot of suppositions but let's leave it at that, I am not really trying to disprove you, I guess this would be a matter of each person's perspective and in something like this I prefer facts, but to each his own.
