Break out the ad hominem, why don't you? Since your argument hinges entirely on personal attacks, I'll have you know that this is not my first bitcointalk account, nor did I sign up on bitcointalk before I started investing in bitcoin. Please explain how my opinions could only be held by a "bagholder." That will be difficult since it's a purely personal attack with no basis in fact or reason.

It's funny because one of the principal arguments I see on this forum is that small blocks hinder adoption -- that we need bigger blocks to foster adoption, and that cheap/no fees is a great selling point to new adopters. And what, pray tell are these new adopters supposed to do? Well, buy bitcoin, of course!

You just cant stop lying, can you?

I dont think you have made any substantive technical arguments in this case, other than trotting out the usual failed assertions of Core. Everything is "toomim this" and "Gavin that." blah blah.

Lying about what? You made an argument based on personal insults, so I called it ad hominem.

That you refuse to address the arguments doesn't mean they don't exist. Feel free to re-read the last few pages. Wink

And there you go again, trying to appear correct by projecting "failure" on Core. Have you ever made an argument that wasn't based on personal attacks? Legit question.

And then you have the temerity to play the ad-hom card? bOh, please, stop being such a whiney bitch,and just accept when you are called out.

It doesn't take temerity to call someone out for ignoring every argument made in the thread and responding with cheap, personal attacks.

And again, here you are with more cheap, personal attacks. Why you so mad all the time?

I wont even go into your "Well I was in bitcoin when it was $0.30" prattle, because we know you weren't. If you were, then your earlier posts would have been very different. It like the people who say they were at the fist Nirvana gig - I believe there are now officially 21,320 people who say they were at the venue which only held 300.

Nice try. And again, SFYL.

Thank you for your concern, though I wish you'd stop droning on about my personal affairs. You can make whatever assumptions you want about my base cost. Call me the biggest bagholder in bitcoin, I don't mind. But that doesn't make Gavin any more right or Core devs any more wrong, hence me calling you out for making irrelevant personal attacks.

And here you are, again, repeating the personal attack.

sAt0sHiFanClub argued that my opinions are wrong because "I am a bagholder."

I didn't actually say that. I merely postulated that your butthurt towards certain personalities might be due to you being a big looser from the ATH.

No offense was meant. Wink

No offense taken. But where I come from, implying something rather than saying it outright doesn't get you off the hook. I just wanted to point out your [repeated] use of ad hominem to show that you are using a dishonest form of argument. Just stating facts. Wouldn't want newbies to be fooled by fallacious arguments.

If we were in the Wall Observer thread, I'd say "fair game" but we're trying to discuss the likelihood of a chain fork and what level of risk in that context is justifiable.
