Most of this is clearly formulated by Mechanic in his last AMA. It's less about the spam, more about the "them". For example:

If BIP110 is not adopted by the industry who resoundingly ignore it then I'd happily say good bye to them rather than capitulate and try something else from within.

That is 100% Iatrogenesis. You create/elevate the problem, then you create a cure, then you blame everyone that doesn't take the cure. Sounds familiar from something in recent history that fucked everyone?
