There are lots of people who understand Bitcoin well enough and back a blocksize increase. Them being simply told they are unqualified to have a view/voice and to trust the "experts" without any sensible counter arguments, has turned them off as well it should.
And lots of people will remember this when it comes time to propose the SC fork.
It's hard not to notice that you guys are highly proficient at ignoring 'sensible counter arguments' as though they didn't exist. It's OK. I understand...which is not to say that I would stoop to your level, but anyway...
Not embracing the 'SC fork' (soft) would be a monumental mistake by anyone who is sitting on sha256 ASIC gear. I'll let you ponder that and/or wait to find out why.
