Consensus in a consensus based protocol?
Care to link me to the relevant code/pseudocode?
Are you trying to tell me that Bitcoin is not a consensus based protocol and that consensus is either non existent or not important?
I'm not trying to tell you anything. I'm asking you to back up your assertions by citing the relevant code.
Do it.
If you think that the minority (the less than five percent) is entitled to dictate its whims to the majority, it's you whose ideas about Bitcoin are off.
Saying that the majority should not be able to push around the minority that does not imply that they should dictate Bitcoin. As I've already said, 95% and above is acceptable due to it causing the 'old chain' to die quickly. With Gavin's proposal you have 75% threshold. Is this 'majority' supposed to dictate the rules for the other 25%?
Where are you getting "95% and above is acceptable due to it causing the 'old chain' to die quickly"? Why 95%? WTF does "die quickly" mean?
Do you even code?
