Tone Vays and Fluffy cannot be simply ignored and labeled as trolls.
Too late, that ship has already sailed. I think they are both very open about being contrarian trolls and would take offensive to you suggesting otherwise.
They wear it as a badge of honor like the BU guys
I have not taken the time to listen yet but from what has been reported they/fluffy purposely got a lot of the facts wrong and tone was totally uneducated on our features like the DGBB funding. Tone is a BTC maximalist and his shtick is trolling all the alts, he's harmless.
I'm sure somebody will debunk all of it line by line at some point. It has already mostly been done in slack, youtube and on reddit. Sounds like Fluffy is reading from the same old script that myself and others have debunked long long ago.
Tao may be putting something together, I don't have time right now and the next week or so is going to be totally crazy for a lot of us.
I've linked one of my old post debunking monero's old scripts for whoever wants to do a proper line by line response to the FUD.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg13018214;topicseen#msg13018214 Your ancient 2015 post does nothing to debunk the latest/current Dash issues discussed on Tone's show
They got too many things wrong to list. The show was a FUD fail. Tone admitted as such. Everything from instantX/instantsend to darksend/privatesend to tone not understanding DGBB funding....
“yes Fluffy might have been technically incorrect on the details of darkSend” Tone Vays
“I'm sure we made a few mistakes” Tone Vays
“Nodding your head when fluffy states obvious errors tells me you did not "look at it". Dan Handler
“is your obvious error some minor technicality about InstanX” Tone Vays
“at no point did me or fluffy pony called dash a scam,” Tone Vays
response...
“Your show is called cryptoscam idiot."
“I would vote for every coin to restart the Genesis block other than Bitcoin.” BTC maximalist Tone Vays
The monero episode should be good, especially considering tone did not even think highly enough of it to even want to buy it, I'm sure you'll be singing a different tune about tone after that scamcoin episode, just like your love hate relationship with peter todd.
“I will be reviewing Monero stuff in a week or so time” Tone Vays
“I don't and never had held Monero (unlike Dash) I am also skeptical of the value proposition of Monero,”
