Appealing to the public was the wrong approach. Work it out amongst the developers.
I think that an appeal to the public is the right approach, the Core developers are not and should not be the rulers of Bitcoin.
Which suggests that the public should be consulted about any and all changes to the code, which makes the development team redundant. It's your inability to comprehend such basics of observable reality that make you look like a shill (as well as making the outcome of every post exchange "...and the answer appears to be BIP101.")
