Many of the postings here and elsewhere are viewed by folks trying to take the pulse of Bitcoin. They turn around and write blogs or articles for various news outlets. They can't always tell (or don't care to) which postings represent the real action. Controversy makes for exciting news. If they see calm thoughtful debate then they will get the sense that Bitcoin is moving in a good direction. Compromise, collaboration; these are the tools we can use to forge a positive attitude toward Bitcoin.

i like Controversy.

i put forth wild ideas ( MEGA BLOCKS ) so we can have a crazy discussion .

should i stop and try and be more sensible / agreeable ?

Keep those ideas flowing. There could be a winner in it. Be prepared to be dismissed/ignored but if you see potential value then for goodness sakes get it out. Take each protest to your ideas seriously; argue *for* that protest as if it were yours; own it. If you are seen as the strongest debater against your idea and still it comes out on top then you will be respected.

It is much less about being agreeable and more about being collaborative.

once they realize your argument is strong, they start to ridicule you by twisting your words, semantics....

i like what your saying

you'd probaly find that https://bitco.in/forum is a much more hosiptiable place.
