Like it or not a significant amount of 'economic majority' want

Over and over, the concrete evidence shows that the hardfork at all cost push comes largely from shills, conmen, and their victims. When actual Bitcoins are put on the table in a cryptographically provable way the result is 180degress off from what the claims are in trivially sockpuppeted forums.

http://bitcoinocracy.com/arguments/unlimited-blocksize-is-bad-for-bitcoin-because-it-diminishes-incentive-to-pay-fees-and-in-the-long-term-it-makes-mining-unprofitable

If you want to resist the kinds of things your signature is talking about you need to steel yourself against claims like that, because they're a primary attack vector.

Besides, if wishes were horses beggers would ride: Classic is a release behind core now, and not keeping up with network features which have been in the works for a year. It's headliner devs continue to not do anything, just as they were not doing anything with Core. Meanwhile, core continues to set the pace with both invention and development that to deliver improved scalablity, capacity, flexibility, privacy, etc. There is a clear reason why you can't get engineers who care about their reputations and about Bitcoin to back these HF at any cost initiatives-- they're no good for either.

The situation is pretty clear too and not just to me-- the big Classic voices, who are still haven't come to grips that with the fact that Wright defrauded them and denouncing wright are ramping up the complete and total dishonesty... such as mischaracterizing Theymos' repeat of the (good or bad) perennial proposal to make apparently lost coins secured with vulnerable cryptosystems unspendable after a long announcement and delay to prevent economic turmoil when someone steals them all at once, or claiming that a couple core contributors musing about potential countermeasures to the patent encumbrance of a vulnerability in SHA256 mining creating a government granted monopoly on mining is some move to make existing mining hardware unworkable, or claiming that Bitcoin core devs are totally going to line up and work on classic if only miners use it, or other such nonsense.
