is for miners and pool operators (not users) to adopt a different implementation of Bitcoin
That little piece right there tells me all I need to know.
So for just us "little old users" we don't matter? Seems you revealed your true intentions right there. Good luck supporting all those miners and Pool Operators without us non-important users funding the entire thing. Your whole argument is about Blocksteam being up to no good and manipulating the system, and here you are calling for a select subgroup to front-run everyone else to meet your own goals.
Truthfully, I don't know which side to believe, but I think "as lowly a user" being thrown under the bus to advance your own agenda isn't going to help.
How exactly do you matter as a user in this context? Users have a great power, but it's limited to whether or not continue to buy/use Bitcoin or move on to something else, so not really useful in this case.
Or do you just need someone to pat you in the back and say "You're very important and your opinion matters" when it's not necessarily true.

Don't believe anyone, do your own research and make your own opinion.
That is my point, your argument is we don't matter, we just take whatever the big pool operators or big miners tell us to take (i.e. shut-up and be happy) That's where I think the beginning of the end will start. So how is what you are saying, "I as a user don't matter" is any different that what we already have with government and banks telling us what we can do and not do with our money. They make the rules and we just live with it.

Again, we already have enough people doing this to us everyday in our lives, so now we have Pool Operators and Large Miners also wanting to join-in and tell us they know best and its for our own good.
