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.
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.

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.

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.

no-one is losing their temper so much as to level actual personal insults at other bitcointalkers.
It seems like you are now making this ridiculous claim, I have been insulted and attacked on a continues basis since I have made my support of BIP101 public, this thread alone is already sufficient evidence of this.
