I like Core, but they are misguided on the economics of this issue.
I love Segwit, but it was supposed to be ready in April, and would only buy a few months of extra time if 100% of the wallets implemented it instantly.
I loved /r/Bitcoin and Bitcointalk, and was a daily user before all the censorship by Theymos took over.
Just look at /r/Bitcoin, people aren't even allowed to see the up-votes or down-votes, let alone post an opinion that is in disagreement with Theymos.
It makes me want to cry when I see how far things have strayed from the principles that early bitcoin users claimed to support.

In matters regarding the preservation of Bitcoin's incentive structure, Core's understanding of economics is superior to your own (LMK when you get a PhD in distributed systems, thus gaining credibility equal to Dr. Back's).
As a free market True Believer, you should have already accepted that as fact, since the socioeconomic majority is clearly behind Core (and loathes Klassique).
Instead we are treated to the spectacle of a supposedly pro-market Bitcoin Jesus Movementarian acting like a full-blooded Marxist, throwing his toys out the pram the instant he's relegated to (cranky, disruptive, contentious) minority status.
Gmax and I are apparently not on speaking terms due to disagreement over an ASIC pre-order fiasco in which we both (willingly) participated.
Having stated that disclaimer, I must remark upon your white belt level trolling.
Every single time you attack the socioeconomic majority, we effortlessly throw you to the mat and give you a friendly (hopefully educational) kick in the head.
But you learn nothing.
What are we to make of this? How many times does XT/Klassique/Unlimiturd need to be dismissed by the market until you Get It?
As Bitcoin Jesus, I expect you to be first in grokking the ethos. Instead, you do what you've been doing.
Hard to put words in your mouth when it is already occupied by Brian Armstrong's ****.
