Brain washed? Bitcoin Core approves SegWit blocks up to 4 MB are ok and no problem for decentralization. Gosh, SegWit is not magic here, and  Bitcoin Core supports for up to 4 MB SegWit blocks invalidate every one of your argument here...
Effective 4 MB with Segwit? That is just wishful thinking. Don't post nonsense. This has nothing to do with my arguments.

Honestly never thought I'd hear that statement from a bitcointalk staff member. Very sad! Cry
Satoshi is not some all knowing god; most of the Bitcoin code was changed/rewritten in one way or another. If there was a possibility to redesign Bitcoin from scratch we would, but it is too late for that. We're trying to fight for one of the fundamental ideas of Bitcoin which is decentralization. Big blocks do not help with this, especially not with an already stagnating node count.

"Of course Classic represent a take over of the network because they dare to increase the blocksize to 2 megabyte without the "permission" of Core, therefore it must be their plan to centralize Bitcoin" Roll Eyes
I am sure that I am not the only one that thinks that sounds ridiculous.
Who mentioned 'Core', 'permission'? Nobody. You're making your own conclusions to indirectly attack me or try to weaken my arguments. If Core suggested a rushed hard fork (especially if we had no experience with this like we currently don't) with a 75% consensus threshold, I'd be against it. If we disregard the people behind the implementations, a 75% HF is still a network split and definitely harmful.
