I see references to Calle, though didn't say that, Wicked and Samson, on X. Not on the repo, on the maillist, or even delving. So it feels like "Protos Staff" is trying to escalate this a bit further. Pity.

PortlandHODL submitted the PR to Knots. Not sure he's a core dev though.

I don't understand that PR at all. Why would you not include consensus-valid txns in cmpctblock? Sounds like trolling.

So that likely was "trolling" / "attacking"... whatever we call it... I'd subjectively just label it bad taste. The original article makes it sound as if a maintainer personally was pushing this, but I didn't see that.

Too bad that we need code accountability. The whole cult of persona thing sucks, especially if it gets ascribed to people by some outlet without them actually doing anything.
