Terminated.

You can't. It is up to the people who are on the "wrong side". Both sides (there probably are more) are definitely guilty of a lot of things (e.g. ad hominem), but at least on one side the situation has calmed down. Some 'people' (?) just keep focusing on negativity, targeting individuals, companies and such. They have to choose to stop behaving like this themselves. It is best to stay away from them and spread the word until they do.

The biggest competition for Bitcoin < Core and Classic > will come from Private Blockchain technology that are being developed as we speak. ^hmmmm^

What makes you say that?

Besidest that, I think you misunderstand "divide et imperia". It means let two different groups fight each other and then win as the third party.

In that case it would be: Let Core fight XT and then Classic was supposed to emerge as the third party. Seems like the plan failed.

It's fully normal that, when people think that the persons that rule something does not act in their interest anymore, they start to act in a way that supports their interest.

I'm not sure if classic can do that though. But it is a legit thing to disagree and do your own thing.

Besidest that, I think you misunderstand "divide et imperia". It means let two different groups fight each other and then win as the third party. Common thing the US is doing before they invade countries.

In bitcoin I don't see the third party and it's not like a third party could overwhelm all bitcoiners somehow.

Mike Hearn has moved on to the third party in this battle. His partnership with the banks, after he divided the community with his failed XT implementation was proof of this strategy. You have to read between the lines and see the bigger picture of how this was done.

Hm... didn't think about that party but surely, they remained calm all the time and this fight surely can only hurt bitcoin. But it's fully understandable that there is a fight at all. Both sides have good arguments. At the moment I can't back any side 100%.

Really a pity.

I think banks could easily stop bitcoin. I was wondering for a long time why governments remained so calm and watched the control over money possibly be taken out of their hands. I think there might be the interest of agencies because following the bitcoin trail might be new and interesting to them... should not be too hard when you control the network activity of whole countries.

There is nothing wrong with the submission of a opposing implementation to Bitcoin Core, because it is in the best interest of the technology to make suggestions and to develop new ideas to improve the technology.

I think the answer is here. People propose what they think it's best for the Bitcoin community and the community choses what works best and everyone merges under the same set of rules. After settling on a new set of rules, we have no division anymore.

Make sure you run a core node.
If you are part of a mining pool, then contact the administrators, and make sure they are aware that you support core, and may transfer to a core supporting pool if they support schismatic groups.

Julius Caesar said, "Divida et Impera" - Divide and rule and since he divided Rome, no one ever contradicted him. We see some forces, trying to do the same. Divide and conquer may refer to: Divide and rule, in politics, sociology and economics, a strategy to gain or maintain power.

Since the introduction of XT and Classic, we have seen some clear indications that people are trying to implement that strategy. There is nothing wrong with the submission of a opposing implementation to Bitcoin Core, because it is in the best interest of the technology to make suggestions and to develop new ideas to improve the technology.

The problem come in, when submissions are done to accomplish other goals, for example a power grab or to Divide and conquer

How can the community come back together and fight for one goal? < Making Bitcoin the center of attention > It is not healthy for everyone to attack each other on public platforms and debate should be centered on making Bitcoin better.
