I feel like you are a bit understating your role here... jgarzik was one of the early Bitcoin core developers.

I think he burned his rep pumping "United Bitcoin", a strange Chinese scam coin

And his involvement in SegWit2X, which was dead in the water because of an off-by-one error by his hand. Had that code been run in production, the entire bitcoin ecosystem would have ground to a halt.

So yeah, bit of a burned reputation.
