This is a shameful display of censorship and close mindedness of the Core developers. This just further proves that we need alternative implementations of Bitcoin so that important discussions and issues are not just censored and ignored.

To quote Mike Hearn from this discussion: i'm sorry but you cannot have a situation where there is only one implementation, where that implementation has one guy making the decisions, and then expect people to not engage in argument and debate about decisions being made or not made.

I agree with Mike Hearn on this point and he should not have been banned for saying this. It is completely unjustified and undeserved to ban him for saying this. Having one person deciding on changes within Bitcoin and having five more people with veto power over the development is an untenable position for Bitcoin especially if we want Bitcoin to be truly decentralized. Multiple competing implementations of Bitcoin is the solution to the political problems we are currently experiencing.

Total nonsense, his ideas and intended direction for Bitcoin have been thoroughly rejected by the other developers, the miners and the userbase. For good reasons. Mike is at fault, he continues to attempt to beat this dead horse that no-one is interested in. Deliberately anti-social stuff, and no doubt intended to set the scene for shills like yourself to distort reality, for the umpteenth time. No-one's falling for it, for the umpteenth time.

Yet I am the one making arguments that you are not refuting, and you are the one using ad hominem and calling me a shill as always. Reason is on my side, other smart people reading this can decide for them selves which side of this discussion has more merit.
