Certainly appears as if you have. Where's your rationale for stating that "BU proponents, ... have been fighting for ... a fork"?
No. Did I claim *all* were doing this? I have not.

Well, no. I've not been following Ver's comments lately. Should I? Has he somehow come to speak for BU proponents?
He's one of the the main BU proponents (+ ViaBTC). The majority are unknown randoms with very little capital (or at least *shown* via nodes and hashrate).

How about you provide a link to a quote so I can know what you're talking about?
Quote
Roger Ver finds it "difficult to support segwit" because he is "more concerned about morals of the people who came up it", than the technology itself.
It was initially in a video, but it seems to be gone now. Here's a [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/5bha5d/roger_ver_finds_it_difficult_to_support_segwit/]link.

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.
Just implement Segwit and continue promoting/preaching what you are already doing. It causes no harm but helps move forward (at least a bit).

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.
Mainstream people should not be trying to decide technical limits though. Are there any other BU developers besides the main 3?
