That Teethow is a newbie with one post so I don't know if he's paid or ask to do this kind if thing like degrading the morale of the Bitcoin community and we can't exactly pinpoint as to who would really benefit from this.
Bitcoin has been in the online world for a long time and faced myriad of attacks in the past so this one is just one of those. Now that the Bitcoin has gained its momentum in rising in much higher ground so the developers would not just sit around idly and just quarrel over because Bitcoin's sake is their common denominator so if they fail in fixing this then they will lose greatly also. Let's just look forward that this problem will be solved anytime soon.
