Unfortunately this comment and this account (created only to criticise the bitcoin core team) is a good representation of the calibre of most of the criticism and attacks they have been copping over the last year or so.

Let's be more clear: it's horribly misleading.

E.g. the Austin Hill example is from when the man was 16, and comes from a talk he gave about how he learned an important moral lesson from that moral failure that changed the course of the rest of his life.

I don't really see anything horribly misleading here. The linked article mentions this as well.

Luke-JR seems to have --- special --- views of the world. Not sure if I would trust him with anything at all.
