I support BIP101 because it best represents the true and original Bitcoin and the principles it stands for. Satoshi had always intended to increase the block size back up again, the one megabyte limit was always intended to be a temporary limit. Therefore XT is the true Bitcoin, since it will increase the blocksize and presently Core has no plans to do so.

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.


And here's an underhand tactic you and others happily resort to: constant repetition of things that just aren't true. I can think of maybe 2 bitcointalk users that can't restrain themselves when it comes to specifically mocking the flawed logic of BIP101 advocates, but no-one is losing their temper so much as to level actual personal insults at other bitcointalkers (with the possible exception of hdBuck and Zarathustra). There's a difference between the two.

Show me the evidence: no-one has insulted anyone on the basis of anything personal, but they have insulted their ideas. I seem to remember the oh so prestigious Dr. Peter R. Rizun indulged in exactly the same behaviour, and perhaps the most childish example of all. Shall I dig up that little "Blocked-Stream" MS paint effort from Peter's history?
