@Lauda
I appreciate we establish a civlized, intelligent conversation about arguments, not insult, in a thread that was made to insult.
While we do it, someone let the hooligans out which yell from the sideline
I don't care about such kind of childish hatefull chorus, but I have a hard time to understand why you and your co-moderators tolerate that these people rampage your forum and damage the reputation of knowledged small blockers like you and the core developers.
I was really really shocked that
this quote from brg444 was not deleted:
The leaders of this governance coup are now nowhere to be seen, Mike Hearn having revealed themselves as the villain he always was is now gone working full time for the bankers he had probably always been in cahoots with. Gavin Andresen has taken residency over at a forum populated by notorious scammer cypherdoc and dangerous, sociopath, charlatan Peter R. After previously advocating for what was deemed a "safe" immediate increase to 20MB, he is now figuratively begging on his knees for 2MB "compromise" only for the sake of forcing a contentious hard fork on Bitcoin in order to undermine the trust of investors in what projects to be the most important year for Bitcoin yet.
I moderate myself a small bitcoin forum in germany, and I was told so often that I'm too soft against trolls. But I'd never ever allow some nobody with too much time to hooligan social media and to insult and polemize people which, if you like them or not, have done a lot for bitcoin and have brought out interesting research.
Ooooohhh, so shocking that no censorship is applied to free speech but discernment of dishonest shills is.
Please learn to know the difference between "free speach" and "defamation". In most countries the rule of thumb is that free speach is allowed but defamation of persons is not.
This PC mentality you espouse is what every single authoritarian control system requires to get anywhere at all. It's very interesting how you are substituting "hooligan" for "Nazi", but that's what your German unconscious mind is thinking, isn't it?
Maybe. I already described the mentality of some proponents of team small block (which should not speak for small blockers in general):
Funnily I never found them really discussing reasons about the problems with an increase of the blocklimits (I know that those problems exist, but I'd like to discuss them). Sometimes they answer questions, but if you discuss it, they leave. Usually their habbit is not to discuss, but to start personal attacks, insults, doxxings, character assasination. Their mindset seems to be best characterized by a slavish submissive to authority and hate for everyone whose worldview expands their very narrow perspective on bitcoin and everything else.
if you like, you can describe such a person as a nazi. We use the term "Nazi" for persons with that mindset in private, but in public I think "Nazi" is too political and most people think Nazis are ugly fanatics with a nefarious plan that suck people into it. This is not the case here. It appears as the small block militia is mainly driven by lust for hate, incapability to discuss rational, unwillingness to accept everything beside their own narrow worldview, endless believe in authority and hate to everyone who doesn't respect their authority.
Just for the fun of it and to keep it short, I'll say this one time: Almost everything you have been told about WWII is a lie.
Ups. I didn't know. Thank you bro'
I think you, as with many Germans today, have been indoctrinated into always trying to be so over-the-top "nice" ("tolerant") to people that you are easily taken for a ride by anyone pretending to be nice.
You are really grabbing everything that helps you to circumvent arguments.
It may be that germans are to worried about what the world thinks about them. But if I watch the opposite of some current german "Gutmenschentum", I see more or less only dumbness, prejudices, ill-lead conspiracy theories, obscurism, hate, toxicity and narrow minds.
I ask myself if you are also part of the french Nazi Gang that was exposed here yesterday? Maybe you can explain why french Nazis are attracted to small blocks while being unable to talk with arguments? Or better - why are french nazis attracted by cryptocurrencies at all?
