Very overdue. Having a BIP editor who's actively promoting a minority fork as the real Bitcoin while lying about the risks of such an approach and calling everyone who disagrees with him a liar and/or a pedophile is completely untenable. The bar for being a BIP editor should be substantially higher than that, but it certainly mustn't be below it.
