I don't understand his great efford to force this 20MB fork. Is there something, that depends on this big blocksize other than just transactions without fee getting stuck? Why not strenthen peoples will to pay a 0.0001 BTC fee instead?

It was the same Gavin, who went to the authorities, that presumably forced Satoshi to go underground.
Did Satoshi differ from Gavin on this step? Was he mad about this? Was he scared or threatend? .....Did he find out something, we all did not know? ...... Nobody except Gavin know, and he is not saying much.
He has the key to the kingdom, and nobody is really asking questions on how he got there...
Gavin has been a very loyal supporter of Bitcoin, nobody can dispute that... but his latest actions puts a dark smudge on everything he did. Nobody is bigger than the community

Everyone repeats over and over again Gavin would be the successor of Satoshi but is there actually any evidence for that?
Can someone please show where Satoshi determined goofy Gavin as his successor?
Thanks in advance for providing that evidence!

The Bitcoin wiki seems to confirm that Satoshi did indeed appoint Gavin to be his successor:
Quote
Nakamoto was active in making modifications to the Bitcoin software and posting technical information on the Bitcoin Forum until his contact with other Bitcoin developers and the community gradually began to fade in mid-2010. Until a few months before he left, almost all modifications to the source code were done by Satoshi -- he accepted contributions relatively rarely. Just before he left, he set up Gavin Andresen as his successor by giving him access to the Bitcoin SourceForge project and a copy of the alert key.

However, it's also interesting to note that Gavin stepped down as Bitcoin's lead developer in 2014 and another person took his place:

Bitcoin’s lead developer Gavin Andresen is stepping down, and handing the reins over to colleague Wladimir van der Laan, also a very experienced bitcoin core developer.

Original author(s) Wladimir van der Laan
Dropship was a set of API utilities for use with Dropbox accounts. The utilities used Dropbox's de-duplication facilities to allow files, identified by their Dropbox hashes, to be copied from Dropbox's servers.
According to the github project, dropship is no longer functional due to the backend changes Dropbox made to their service.
Controversy[edit]
Dropship was the target of legal maneuvering by Dropbox that attempted to shut down the project and remove it from the Internet. The mechanism of Dropbox's attempt to shut down the Dropship project generated both online discussion and negative press for the company.

Fuck me! I thought I saw a parallel.

Satoshi will never have anyone succeeding him. Any core dev was never supposed to succeed him, just help him review code and publish it... And that's what they still do, they just do it without Satoshi now

Bitcoin is an open source project and Gavin has been working on it since the start. I haven't heard about any "hand-picking".
