Jeff garzik who had done very little contribution overall had not done any for years. Removing him allowed bitcoin core project to make the statement that not a single contributor support segwit2x / bc1 here :
https://bitcoincore.org/en/2017/08/18/btc1-misleading-statements/
It's the people you support (Chinese miners and Rogers) that stalled the block size increase that segwit provide along with multiple added benefit also improving scaling.
If you know nothing about the situation stop trying to explain it to others.
Bitcoin core is not an elected group of people its an open project project that grew organically for years by welcoming contributions.
Lookup the opinions of the dozens of people who made what bitcoin is and you see 95% support segwit first then Block increase later. Later definetly does not mean 2 months as per NYA. .
If anything the patent has to be a defensive one that stop someone else from patenting it. While on patents why not educate us on bitmains ASICBOOST patent and tell us it's not a big economic incentive not to want segwit.
