I'm a really little man who's afraid of libel, slander and fraud.

FTFY again and will keep doing so until you learn the meaning of FTFY.

You can still think for your self while acknowledging the greater wisdom of the crowd. To explain this to you more clearly, individuals should think for themselves, but larger organizations or in this case, a decentralized network, should not be governed by singular or even a group of individuals but by the wisdom of the crowd instead.

The crowd is not wise at all and the HF crowd is definitely not wiser than your average rational individual.

If you disagree with this notion then I would seriously suggest that you are invested in the wrong cryptocurrency.

No; don't you come talking to me about investment. You keep talking about economic majority nonsense, yet there is no clear evidence of anything. If anything it has been proven that the majority is on the side of Core (data sampled by coin votes).

Increased TPS is what this blocksize debate is all about, for you to simply say that we should ignore that seems ridiculous to me in terms of choosing alternatives for scaling Bitcoin. I think that segwit is not finished, and once it is finished it will require a long period of peer review, critique and negotiation before it should even be implemented. We should not just trust Core that everything within the segwit is perfect, this type of work should not be rushed.

It doesn't require a long period of review, because it's being tested and another 2-3 months are more than enough. Have you done testing at 2 MB for a "long period"? Of course you haven't, then stop talking. Let me post this again since you've choose to avoid it:

What are the benefits of 2 MB blocks and what are the benefits of segwit if we exclude the increase in TPS? If your answer to the first question is nothing (it should be, you can't change this fact), then we have a clear winner. Time to move on.

The answer is a clear and indicative no. You can try to deny it, you can try to go around it, you can try to lie about it, but it won't change it. Aside from the increase in TPS that both proposals bring to the table, 2 MB block size brings nothing.

Regardless of how long this campaign persists, some systems just can't be fatigued.
