[Bitcoin-segwit2x] September/October SegWit2x Status Update

[Matthew Clancy]

I found it creepy and condescending coming from an adult. The tone is
reminiscent of the bully in the schoolyard who gets angry when the other
kids don't want to play with him because he makes up rules as he goes
along.

Bitcoin is HIS ball, and if you don't want to play by his rules, he's going
to take the ball and go home.

He needs you to be careful so we all can keep playing.
