I say it when I see people who still haven't grasped the concept.  It's hardly my fault that the most frequent offenders are the ones who believe Core developers have some sort of dictatorial right and that anything that isn't Core is inherently bad.  Stop giving me a reason to say it if you don't like being reminded of how this system works. 

The market isn't some process of elimination.  Just because one entity has a significant market share, it doesn't necessarily mean other entities are wiped out.  As long as there are people out there who aren't absolutely certain about Core's roadmap, or feel concerned about developer centralisation, or whatever else they're unhappy with, there will be continued support for other proposals.  I'm sorry if that's somehow unacceptable to you.  But I can assure you, berating other people about ideas you happen to disagree with won't prevent them from looking at other ideas.  Core need to win these people over by proving that their product is the best in the market.  That's down to them.


I'm not the one trying to shut down discussion of the various proposed Bitcoin forks, stating "let the free-market take it's course". How is that supposed to happen, if you keep turning up rail-roading discussions about these forks?


People discussing fork proposals is part of the free-market process, whether you like what they're saying or not. If people like Roger Ver continue to act deceptively, that's gonna get called out. If you don't like that, the free-market is not for you.
