Can we all just take a deep breath? There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a discussion to determine the best approach. Discussion, respectful disagreement, and debate are a feature, not a bug. We should keep the discussion to the merits of different approaches, and be willing to understand the other person's perspective and compromise if they make a valid argument. It is very counter-productive for anyone to have a "if we don't do it my way, I'm outta here" attitude, and I think there have been elements of that on both sides of this discussion. We all want the same thing at the end of it, a Freenet which meets the goals of the project, and is easy to install and use.
