CSW has never created an ICO. CSW has never endorsed an ICO. CSW has always been a Bitcoin maximalist. CSW has always wanted the protocol locked in.
The reactions seems to have been from the following groups: People who create ICOS. People who endorse ICOS. People who want to "fix" Bitcoin. People who want to change the protocol.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction btcfork. Now it's a lot clearer that the real scammers detest CSW and attack him as a result.
