What you describe is accurate on how things ended up. What most people seem to forget is that "Block War" did start off as a legitimate debate to address the very real problem of full blocks. Segwit / Layer 2 scaling wasn't as obvious to us pleb node runners as it was to people like Peter, Greg and Luke etc. I don't think Roger was an "evil" person trying to destroy bitcoin, I think he actually believed he was doing what he thought best, but he turned out to be wrong. That being said, his devolving into a bitter shitcoiner scammer in the end is totally accurate and ugly. You gotta know when to admit you were wrong buddy. Ironically, what convinced me to run a UASF node was the attempted power grab by the big blockers. Fighting against big powerful money controllers was THE main reason I got into this project, I sure as shit wasn't going to let anyone dictate how my money works anymore, whether it was with fiat or Sigwit2x.
