2 MB block size brings nothing.

This is strange answer coming from a bitcointalk.org staff member. But you are the same person that said Satoshi's vision is irrelevant? Funny how well now I can remember you and your ways.

I thought 2MB blocksize would mean keeping Satoshi's protocol intact, whilst relieving full blocks, quelling the current international dispute, and at the same time leaving open the possibility for SegWit, and other Blockstream corporate-sponsored programs.

Strange indeed... the same people that cry most loudly against 'contentious hard forks' are the ones that seem to be against implementing a simple 2MB increase right now that would make the forking threat disappear.

that's an interesting way of framing things. removing the threat of a contentious hard fork -- by implementing a contentious hard fork. brilliant.
 

Well ok. touche.   But if we all agree to go with 2MB, its no longer contentious.
I guess my point is that many of believe there's no reason (or not a very good one) NOT to go with 2 MB right now.
