I can only speak for myself, and I do not see any reason why I should support EZ or his company in any way. During the last 10 years - which is the time-span I have been able to follow his moves - he's taken every possible step to hurt Bill and Becky and their present business.
I don't hate Bill Lawrence USA pickups, though. Most of the time I simply ignore them, as they're crap. BL USA's  know-how and patents left with Bill back in 1984.
I don't hate any posters on this forum. Why should I ?  I've tried to response politely and with adequate information.
However, I do think it's fairly impudent to ask for advice about these pickups here, especially as golem obviously knows about the controversy.
Regarding the q-filter, it's definitely a twin coil device. I've rewound one of them after a wire break, and I can supply pictures if you like.
