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?

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...)

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.
