I have not fabricated anything.

Certainly appears as if you have. Where's your rationale for stating that "BU proponents, ... have been fighting for ... a fork"?

I might have improperly worded it as it should be 'block scaling via Segwit' and not 'block scaling and Segwit'. Have you been reading r/btc or following Ver's comments lately?

Well, no. I've not been following Ver's comments lately. Should I? Has he somehow come to speak for BU proponents? I don't recall a referendum on that position. AFAIK, BU has no official spokesperson. We have a secretary, but they are not chartered with any advocacy such as that of which you speak.

How about you provide a link to a quote so I can know what you're talking about?

Further, I tend to stay away from the cesspool that is Reddit, unless I find a link to it from some other venue that piques my interest.

And again, we're not for "blocking scaling and SegWit"*. We BU-ers are for implementing scaling through the emergent consensus of the entire network having control over maxblocksize. Unfortunately, at this juncture, supporting this approach to scaling precludes supporting segregated witness (let alone The SegWit Omnibus Changeset).

*Prove me wrong with a quote demonstrating this attitude even exists, let alone is predominant.

They have been literally talking about blocking Segwit for the sake of..fighting Core, Blockstream or whatever? I do not even understand their reasoning anymore.

Well, blocking SegWit in the sense that at this juncture, any node running The SegWit Omnibus Changeset (i.e., at this point core 0.13.1) is a node that cannot be running BU, and vice versa. So yes - it seems clear you do not understand our reasoning. Though it should be obvious if you think about it.

But not in a sense of a Snidely Whiplash / Boris Badenov / Dr Evil sort of obstructionism. At least the BU folk with whom I am in regular contact. Which by all accounts is the mainstream. We're just fighting for what we believe is the most beneficial approach and best path forward to a more capable Bitcoin, maximizing value to the largest possible set of users.
