at least I do not resort to ad hominem attacks and appeals to authority like many of the small blockists on this forum do.

In which case, make a square out of the circle above.

I have never said that we should increase the blocksize because Satoshi said so, that would indeed be a flawed argument. I have already made my arguments independently from the founders vision, it just happens that I do agree with this original vision and the small blockists do not. I only pointed this out as a response to the claim that not increasing the blocksize is more inline with the original vision of Bitcoin. The argument can be made however that Bitcoin should follow this original vision, I have not made this argument however.

Can I ask you to elaborate on this?

I am not sure how I could elaborate on this, what I am saying here is pretty simple after all. I am often accused of repeating myself so I will do you the favor and not repeat myself again.

And here's an underhand tactic you and others happily resort to: constant repetition of things that just aren't true.

Please tell me specifically where I am wrong, in terms of the facts. Since I thought that our disagreement stems from a fundamental ideological disagreement, not one based on a flawed understanding of physical reality.

Ok, you're specifically wrong in the reply you made immediately below: (straight after...)

I am not sure what you are referring to, a quote would be helpful.

Show me the evidence: no-one has insulted anyone on the basis of anything personal, but they have insulted their ideas.

Why do I even need to prove this? I only said that I do not resort to ad hominem, which is not the same as saying that no one does, which would be a ridiculous claim to make anyway, certainly not one that I ever made.

You claim you've been "insulted and attacked on a continuous basis", but the evidence for that simply doesn't exist. As I said, your beliefs and ideas have been ridiculed, but only those that relate specifically to this debate. Not ad hominem.

I do not understand why you even want to make this point, I suppose I should quote some examples now:

The vast majority of XT supporters are sock-puppet shill accounts, and there aren't that many of them. So for now, there is only the appearance of split community. Just a veneer.

XD Veritas, so you don't care if for make a full node there will be a budget of 100,000$ only in eletricity? I agree with brg444 in this case because all what you just wrote not only is meaningless but even stupid

Quote from: desired_username on November 04, 2015, 03:56:21 PM

Pathetic lies.

Quote from: brg444 on November 03, 2015, 04:28:58 PM

I thought I asked you to stop promoting disgusting lies

Quote from: MbccompanyX on November 02, 2015, 07:02:24 PM

Carlton, talking with VeritasSapere is useless, even if you quote what he wrote before, he will always deny that and start doing some mess around that instead of admit defeat

I disagree, I'm a very well off European with very cheap internet access and I personally don't think it is inconvenient nor expensive to run my node. Third-world problems are not my problems.

The highlighted quote was not made by me. Brg444 has unethically and falsely used my name in a quote which I am not responsible for, it was most likely written by him. To do this is wrong, it is fraud, libel and slander. I have requested that he ceases to falsely quote me yet he continues to do so.

dude stop playing the victim, i saw that post on the thread posted under your name, for once admit you just wrote something and anyway you know thay you are the only one posting more then the others?

It was indeed me who imagined these lines and stuck them under one of his posts' header so as to present what I thought would be his likely answer to a certain argument.

And this reveals the dishonesty of your position (as ever).

Quote from: Carlton Banks on November 01, 2015, 04:04:55 PM

If you wish to continue shouting about sophistry and conceited arguments, remember that you're already shouting as such all too frequently.

Quote from: Carlton Banks on October 31, 2015, 08:04:28 PM

Coming from the most notorious subverter of arguments on this board, not to mention one of those who (now) complains most loudly about the subversion of arguments, I'm surprised you're still working away, paragraph after paragraph, continuing to perform what is possibly the first ever world record attempt for an unhalting subversive stream of arguments.

What a relentless shill.

Jesus christ you are stupid. It's painfully obvious you're the one that's actually clueless about how the consensus process operates... You can insist into attempting to push us into your reality distortion field but realize that it only makes you all the more delusional.

I could easily go back and provide you with more examples, this is going back only ten pages, I do not see the point in this exercise however and it feels like a waste of my time. Since the claim that I have not been subjected to any attacks on my character whatsoever is obviously untenable, as I said earlier it is actually a rather ridiculous claim to make. I have only provided these quotes since you did challenge me to do so.
