the only bloatcoiner smart enough to see this clearly is Mike Hearn, and that is exactly why he has put in the effort to make XT. Classic controlled demolition.
Excellent (and blessedly succinct) argument by analogy. "Hostile/malicious fork" descriptive power just doesn't have the same je ne sais quoi as "controlled demolition."
Does not convince many. Not here and not there.

I would argue! Bitcoin is extremely democratic by its nature
True. Very few people choose to participate as a percentage of the world's population. In otherwords, they freely vote with their feet. For some reason all of the Bloatcoin nitwits think that is going to change after half a decade and jubilation is just around the corner.
Bitcoin has the potential to be very useful for certain things and under certain circumstances. Indeed, as a backing store for various tuned crypto-currency solutions (aka, sidechains) it would not take anything catastrophic in mainstream-land to create such conditions. The Bloatcoin guy's tasks are to nuke Bitcoin before or during such a time of need.
