I complain about this for days. But as long as it was just small block militia attacking everyone else you didn't care.
Some people tend to overreact.
You are no small block fanatic. I think I made clear enough what kind of people and mindset here I mean with "small block militia". You have reasons, you are open to arguments and you have another capacity to express than yelling and insulting.
I'm definitely not. I'm open to various scaling solutions that are conservative and can be deemed as safe (i.e. 2 MB block size/SegWit/other).

I know, I know, I know. Maybe it will be ok, than everything is good, but I think it will come to late and will be not enough.
It should be okay. Testnet is running right now and tests are being done.

So we see it technically nearly identical. I think we most differ politically.

They don't need so much code, they just change blocksize with an xt-like voting to 2MB. And as long as they have the support of major miners they will succeed with it.
if this forces Code to bump to 2 MB it would also be ok. Some people of team big block think we should get rid of core. I don't think so, I believe them to be of a great value for Bitcoin.
If it is easy to code it what are they waiting for then? This is why it is suspicious for me. I could edit the code to 2 MB myself without knowledge of the required languages.

Don't know. But I don't think this to be suspicous. Maybe they are enhencing the voting-mechanism? maybe they want to get more people on board before releasing the code? We'll see.

If you say everybody supporting bigger blocks is manipulated you attack their intelligence. This makes discussion, as you say, completely useless, because you reject the idea big blocker could have valid arguments. If you know that their arguments are just manipulation, you can stopp thinking.
With this I meant people are being manipulated so that they forget the original statements/stances of others. Interestingly at first 20 MB blocks were urgent, now a 2 MB compromise is okay. This is what I'm talking about.

Nobody forgot. Some people, like me, call this consens-finding resp finding of a compromise.
