When the fork goes ahead, you're going to tag along and play nice because you don't have any other choice.

This whole discussion started because MP decided to throw his toys out of the pram and start making threats. Me calling BS on those threats doesn't undermine my position in any way, shape or form. I want what's best for the many, not what's best for MP and his band of cronies.
Or, we could remove the pointless, artificial 1MB bottleneck and everything carries on exactly like it does now. The blockchain doesn't instantly double or treble in size. It doesn't lead to mass-centralisation (or if it does, it will happen much more slowly than it would if we start forcing users off-chain). None of the other idiotic horror stories your side of the debate has raised will come true.
