By "the Monero guys" you mean the broader technical community that understand security software design?

Also, obscure origins are irrelevant when the technology is solid. Take the following examples: TrueCrypt, Bitcoin, MimbleWimble. Are you honestly arguing that TrueCrypt was bad?

By the "Monero guys spreading FUD and lies" I mean exactly that. I have used Monero in the past and consider myself part of that comunity at the time. Even used its predecessor Bytecoin for a while before Monero came up. I have researched a lot and just happen to like and trust Zcash tech much more! May be you should do a bit more research. It is nice to have competing privacy technologies. It is good for privacy loving users and for the advancement of the field. If you like Monero and feel is much better, good for you, use it and enjoy it, this is a free world, but there is no need to lie and confuse people about Zcash.
