ridiculous blocksizes??

sorry but segwit is 4mb.. i proven that in a different topic and even supplied you a link.
so how is 2mb ridiculous??
Yes, I'm talking about ridiculous block sizes. Examples of those being suggested by irrational people: 8 MB, 20 MB (remember 2015 20 MB now or doomsday?), unlimited. 2 MB should be fine after validation time is linear and not quadratic.

i actually agree with lauda's sentiment..
Additionally, I strongly believe that any controversial fork is an altcoin in a sense where a very small minority split away from the majority. We define pretty much any coin that does this as an altcoin; the primary difference is that they: 1) Change some specifications; 2) Don't retain the current blockchain information but rather start 'fresh'.

well there already has been logical bips submitted, and the decision against implementing it was not vetoed out due to code, or logic or real reason. but due to false doomsdays and fake stats.. mainly illogical scare stories
You can't get something merged into Core without consensus. What you could do is: Write a BIP -> provide the code for it -> if it gets rejected, then provide your own implementation for it. I'm also not aware of any "false doomsdays or fake stats" that were used as arguments against any of those BIPs.
