No one can force someone else to run software against their will.
you should look into what a synthetic-fork is and revise this theory... lol! oh i love to joke.
The community is clearly divided between those who want to keep the block chain as lean as possible in order to preserve decentralization at the cost of on chain scaling, and those who want to put every transaction under the sun in the permanent ledger that all full nodes must keep a copy of forever.
These two sides will never see eye to eye! There is no point in furthering the perpetual argument.
Therefor, the best solution is one side to create a block which the other side refuses to acknowledge.
Forking will resolve these differences in the blink of an eye.
your perception of the 2 sides are greatly exaggerated.
at this point the two dominant sides are:
"let the free market determine block size dynamically"
and
"let gerg determine block size and discount signature data at his discretion"
when it comes to the second layer.
both sides agree that its cool and both sides what to see it happen.
but they view it slightly differently...
"a very cool experiment that will probably have some use cases, but needs time to mature?"
and
"THE FUTURE OF BITCOIN!"
ofc we have both sides throwing poop at each other...
" segwit will forever destroy bitcoins bits! "
and
" minners will make 100MB blocks and destroy decentraltion "
aahhhh bitcoin le 2016 the year we failed to scale.
2017 will go more smoothly....
