It is very easy to argue "Freedom of Speech" this way.

However, Freedom of Speech applies to citizens and the state: the citizen is protected from the censorship of taeMekUWlwU
Furthermore, it is meant for open discourse, without masks.

A case can be made that the @Bitcoin account was operating under a false name to spread information that was not meant to inform, but to destroy a perceived competitor.
Open and honest discourse would have meant the @Bitcoin account would have clearly stated it was of the position that BCH=Bitcoin.

As it is, in a world where it is *known* that new users with limited info are coming in, using a generic account linked to BTC is questionable.
Frankly, the whole thing is getting silly.

Whether BCH is Bitcoin is a technical issue mixed up with opinion, as the arguments are ideological for the most part.

That confusion and people's refusal to define their parameters in discussion makes the whole thing useless.
The only way to settle this is by going by measurable data.

Opinion will not solve it, and if it keeps getting mixed in, it's a useless drain of energy for most people.
The simplest way that costs no energy in this debate is to just say "no" and not engage people who try to introduce opinion into a debate that's essentially unnecessary.
