That's very true, yes, but the interesting phenomena we are witnessing here is that one side of the argument are seemingly completely closed to any new input. Surely many are mindless followers who still watch MSM (i.e. people with a need to be told what to do who go with initial impressions of what feels best and then listen only to confirmatory sources, because they have unknowingly lost the ability to think for themselves), of course, but some seem far too sophisticated in their understanding and writing. Your "Confirmed Gavinista" is reflective of this closed mindset.


That's a premature assumption you're making. Obviously it should be discussed, and is being discussed. The point is the observation that one side, or at least the most visible posters of one side, amazingly do not accept new input at all, and just keep reiterating the same false arguments ad nauseum.

Are you operating under the assumption that the "bad guys" are sitting idly by while decentralization undoes their millennia-old consolidation of centralized control over resources? Or do you not even believe there are any "bad guys" and that everything is as the MSM says?


You must be joking. The strongest statists among the core devs are the big-blockers! Gavin, Hearn, Garzik, etc. Do some research before you make ridiculous assumptions.
