If I were wanting to hold BCH back, for some competitor coin, I'd keep a community wrapped up in resentment for any idea that "smells" of some other infamous figure's idea or other coin. I'd encourage wrapping arguments up in names no one outside BCH cares about and cause mass disinterest.
BCH won. It doesn't matter how, but they won the hash war. It won it for a measured response to block size, not to be anti-large block. It is fighting the scaling war against BTC right now (and I think won), it won the limit/anti-limit war against BSV, and it won the tax war against BCHa.
Discussing block limit sizes and signaling should not be so fragile or taboo. Discussing network infrastructure, transactions per second, taking whatever technologies from other alt-coins as examples to discuss improve and BCH (yes, including from BTC, BSV, BCHa and any other currency) should all be discussed with can-do attitudes. No more getting stuck in the past. No more insecurity about losing to another coin, you're literally poised to take everything, with what BCH has survived and won.
It's your battle to lose, and I value the 1 BCH I have enough to tell you: don't.
