Yeah, it's really funny where all this did go.

I'm watching this "Small block militia" for some month and this is their master-piece.

Funnily I never found them really discussing reasons about the problems with an increase of the blocklimits (I know that those problems exist, but I'd like to discuss them). Sometimes they answer questions, but if you discuss it, they leave. Usually their habbit is not to discuss, but to start personal attacks, insults, doxxings, character assasination. Their mindset seems to be best characterized by a slavish submissive to authority and hate for everyone whose worldview expands their very narrow perspective on bitcoin and everything else.

I wonder what they do here, since I thought bitcoin is about a free currency for free people.

Also I really wonder why the moderators tolerate that this gang of hooligans continuosly violates all rules of online-discussion. I don't know any forum where something like this would be tolerated more than two days.

I heard Theymos and the other moderators here are strictly with core and team small blocks. If so, they should be worried that this childish-faszist behavior of their supporters does much harm to the core devs and blockstream. Usually people are judged with by the behavior of their friends.

I personally am slightly for bigger blocks but am aware that there might be serious risks with hardforking to bigger blocks. But the "style" of the small block militia drives me away from supporting core, blockstream and small blocks.
Problem is... you aren't the only one.  I personally am a bit taken back by the current situation.  Bitcoin has such promise.  If a few reasonable changes were made, it COULD become a global currency, probably THE global currency.  Honestly, it has everything going for it - a huge infrastructure buildout, pretty solid user base, good name recognition, almost 10 years of solid debugging and real world lab experience, and yet..... why the heck am I getting this impending sense of doom lately?

I am totally serious.  I am totally shocked that this little Blockstream Player / Core-Dev group is so blind to what they are squandering, and at how strongly rebellion is brewing.  Right now it would not take much for everyone to start running for the exits, or towards another solution. And we KNOW that other solutions are being worked on.

Honestly I am pissed off and disgusted, and I am honestly starting to keep my eyes on the exit door at all times.  And it is sad, totally sad that this is happening.
