the drama continues on:

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.org/pull/894

there's that name Saivann again. he was involved in the original PressCenter.org debate.

This is getting bizarrethat post has a strange feel, with hints of desperation, like someone is grasping at authority that's slipping through their fingers. This type of behaviour will only serve to disenfranchise them further, as power migrates to MIT, CoinCenter, and hopefully several new initiatives at university research labs.

I think I've heard all the arguments, but I still cannot understand the opposition to increasing the blocksize.

theymos is a strange character that has control of all our media outlets; BCT, Reddit, & apparently Bitcoin.org.

i admired him greatly back in the day b/c he helped me understand Bitcoin thru several pm's and a couple of Skype audio conversations. at first, he was very hesitant to actually talk to me despite my pleadings that i learn more efficiently with the ability to quickly back and forth from conversation vs typing. he told me he was very uncomfortable talking even tho i agreed to just the audio on Skype; no video (a concession i made to assuage his awkward social concerns). he said he types faster than he talks. he wasn't kidding. the only way i got him to audio was to pay him 4BTC. expensive in retrospect but worth it for the knowledge. he WAS socially awkward and i barely got my money's worth given the difficulty of the communication.

i've been very disappointed ever since in his allowing forum moderators to essentially run wild around here deleting posts they don't like. and then with the forum donations for a new site. i'm certainly not alone.

and now this. i really think it's a power play by the devs to keep control. marcus said it flat out. they want control.
