it was kind of ambushy... i mean, i got nothing to say about the guy, don't care either way...
But if i was doing an interview and someone else, outside of the interview, wants to "discuss" cryptolosophy with me, while I'm busy doing my thing. I doubt I would take it as a "friendly" action.
The tone and body language said very loudly roger:
"Hey... i'm interested in arguing passionately... feel like expending some emotional currency for the sake of a video I can slap on youtube?"
To me, the fact that you take this as a win does not look good for your cause, and I'm saying this as someone who owns some bitcoin cash too.
I don't know...
The press guy talking to Mow was the one that prompted the discussion with Roger, if I am not mistaken. Roger said as much in the intro, and if you listen, the man is asking Mow why he does not want to talk with Roger. This doesn’t seem “ambushy” at all to me, really.
It is funny how dismissive Mow is, and then when pressed to substantiate his claims, has nothing, and admits he hasn’t even checked out his opponent’s (Roger’s) arguments.
Another weenie runs away. Real debate can only push us forward!

Of course there is a chunk of the video missing... but it seems to me, that the interview was doing fine, then roger interrupted and then the interviewer asked Mow why he would not talk to Roger.
Anyways... I don't disagree with the health of debating, im all for it.. I just think the setting was not right.
And, Roger's body language and tone did not help either.
Listen... for all I know Roger could be the nicest dude, that's not in question... I'm just saying this doesn't move the needle in any way, it does not fix anything, it does not help. That is all.

That is an assumption, Meno. The media person set up the encounter shown in the room, as Roger said, and also as evidenced by the gestures of this media person on the couch prior to Roger speaking.
It definitely shows that Mow does not have a solid position, as he takes jabs at Ver during this exchange, but refuses to substantiate them.
Whatever you think of the body language and tone, this was not an ambush by Ver (you’ve assumed this) and Mow, like so many others willing to criticize but not back up their claims, leaves when things get hot saying “I don’t want to be on camera with you.” A bit juvenile if you ask me.
I may be biased, having met Ver myself, and I think he’s a fucking solid dude. But Jeeze. If you are going to be critical as Mow is of Roger, at least have facts to back up the tantrum.

I agree with @Kalkanarchy84 - With as much shit as Mow talks about roger and BCH, to act like he did in that room wasn't a good look. I know Roger isn't the most popular but I call it how I see it.

You are right, I'm assuming everything was ninja prior.. Who knows?
I was just typing how the drama in this whole thing doesn't help... deleted my two lines and thought to myself. How do I know? I mean... here I am, someone with a tiny quiet voice, and there they are with a world audience.
So maybe, this whole thing is good... as uncomfortable as it can be... Maybe...
Time will tell.

I agree with you. As a BCH supporter i do not see how this Samson Mow "escape" is relevant.

about as relevant as saying a beer with the name BITCOIN CASH is the most popular beer in a random club somewhere.
That it's being sold at a huge discount or not can barely makes it less relevant.

This debate is extremely relevant to what is going on in the Bitcoin Core / Bitcoin Cash debate.
