It is crazy shit. absolutely.
the sad thing is, Hearn is right. (yeah.... the same Mike Hearn that previously said whitelisting is a good idea... the same Mike Hearn that I said shouldn't be trusted) Sadly, he is making a lot more sense and communicating a lot better than the so called core devs!
I am hopeful the community will do the right thing and move to bigger blocks in time to avert bandwidth issues.
And I think Hearn is right: the "core devs" are being stubborn and selfish and want to do things their own way. They may be motivated as much by intellectual righteousness as by greed. Regardless, they have failed to articulate their positions to the community (as far as I have seen) and so as much as I've had a bias against Hearn, he's the good guy right now.

Good point. You're correct that Hearn is superior at communicating. The Core Devs are not clearly articulating their positions. At all.
I am indeed in the anti-Hearn camp, yet neither can I ally myself with the stumbling selfishness of the Core Devs.
What's disheartening is that this should be a nonissue, as most everyone supports larger blocks.
