I'd like to see monero stand on its own without feeling the need to bash bytecoin in order to prop itself up.
A "need" which you've invented in a transparent attempt to straw-man Monero into some kind of malicious intent.
Calling out an apparent premine fraud is not an "attack' (nor is forking, as iCEBREAKER correctly points out) and as I've explained before, you still have the history entirely backwards: The suspicions, investigations, and challenges of Bytecoin's history are not the product of Monero, Monero is the project of those concerns.
Most of us started out as intrigued by the Bytecoin technology and story and only decided to fork it (and support the fork) once it became apparent that story was bullshit, and its promoters had by then lost the support and confidence of the community.
There may be an irony in all of this. By the time the world hears about monero it'll be at least 80% mined (if it isn't already).
Monero will be 82% mined a bit under 4 years after launch (not really though, since there are perpetual rewards, so no one will ever feel it is "too late" to mine). If no one has heard of it by then, we'll have done something very wrong, or perhaps done our best but it just didn't work out anyway. In fact a lot of people have heard of Monero, even now, a year or so after launch.
More importantly, though, they will hear about a first four years that were a transparent project, open to any willing participants, with a verifiable history. Which is to say it
won't look like a non-transparent likely fraud that will impair its success forever.
