Will bitcoin hard fork in November result in a third coin forked out from "Bitcoin"?

I guess there would really be a hard fork and the ensuing "split" resulting into the birth of another altcoin just like what we experienced with BitcoinCash (BCH). Anyway, I am not a very technical person so I could not delve on its many technical aspects as most of them are beyond my simple grasp.

What I understand is that just like the BCH in August all Bitcoin holders would also be receiving their own share of this coming new altcoin and that is where the excitement is all about as it can mean free airdrop of possible money for all of us. I understand that this new fork may not really be good for the image of Bitcoin but there is nothing we can do if that would be the decision of those people involved.

I would just be glad to receive my share of the new coin.

Is it truly essential for BTC to hard fork again to increase the size of the blocks? Wasnt Segwit enough already?

If Jeff Garzik and his people were sensible, they should delay the November hard fork and think about it further. Segwit2x should also provide replay protection for its users. I heard there was none. Is this true? Why dont they want it to have replay protection?

A second hard fork from Bitcoin was previously expected to occur only in November with the advent of SegWit2x.

T]here is a discrepancy between those who can provide input to the project (the community at large) and those who have the ultimate call as to where the project is going. Indeed, while anyone is entitled to submit changes to the software (such as bug fixes, incremental improvements, etc.), only a small number of individuals (the core developers) have the power to decide which changes shall be incorporated into the main branch of the software.

yep

the devs of core have already ruled out making core compatible and done everything they can to force it to be an altcoin.

this is why blockstream employees can no longer deny that they control bitcoin
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11128

sipa closed it the same day it was opened, giving no chance for the community to review, interrogate, consider or choose

real funny part

they pretend upgrades should only happen with community support yet do everything to avoid community involvement/choice
