1) You could limit the transaction size while still increasing the blocksize.

It's not a matter of 'could' or 'could not', but rather a matter of "should" or "should not". I disagree with those limitations.

Here you are disagreeing with limiting the transaction size. (limiting it to 1MB is implied, just to be sure you understand, the current limit is 1MB because the blocksize is 1MB and therefore a transaction larger than 1MB doesn't fit).

Other than a mindless fearr of a hard fork, give me 1 solid reason based on logic against a block size increase.

1) Security risk of a DOS due to quadratic validation problem.
2) No hard fork experience.
3) High risk of damaging merchants and businesses that do not manage to update in time (if the activation parameters are improper such as with Bitcoin Classic).
4) Higher storage cost.
5) Higher bandwidth cost.

Even if we disregard the 4 latter, the primary issue is still the security risk.

and here you are disagreeing with increasing the block size.

So even though those statements weren't direct quotes (I never implied they were quotes), I can proof that they align with your statements. Therefore you are contradicting yourself, and falsely accusing me of lying.

Until somebody "turns on" the spam again, and suddenly everyone is stuck with massive bloat.

you can't just block honest transactions because you're afraid of spam. You're doing more harm than good that way.

That's like only allowing 100 users at a time to connect to google.com because otherwise google.com might be DDOSed. So whenever there's 100 users on google, google.com blocks all requests until one of the users is done.

If google.com would do that, how long do you think google.com remains the most popular search engine?

Not very long.

And yet, that's exactly what bitcoin is doing right now.

No, that's not even nearly enough time, especially not without Segwit.

Not enough time for what? Verifying with an abacus?

Could you get equipment from this century at least?

Ad hominem nonsense due to losing ground.

fun fact, 100% of the troll I have spoken to have used the following arguments when they run out of actual arguments:

*You are using ad hominem
* You are using strawman arguments

Does not matter if I am actually using ad hominem or strawman arguments.
