I must say that I am very saddened that Shelby Moore III has been treated in this fashion here on BCT.

I have had many valid and stimulating discussions with him here on serious technical and design issues that impact Bitcoin. He is in my opinion one of very few people who has spent the time understanding the serious issues that Bitcoin faces with:
 
1) The Fixed blocksize.
2) The unproven fee market that is supposed to replace block rewards in Bitcoin.
3) Miner centralization and the host of attacks that are possible because of the fixed blocksize.
4) Many of the serious failings in the solutions that have been presented, including but not limited to Bitcoin Unlimited.
5) What may be a fundamental design flaw in Bitcoin.
6) A host of other technical issues and attack vectors in Bitcoin.

My take is that banning Shelby Moore III amounts to nothing more than shooting the messenger when the message is both very valid and very unpalatable to many in the Bitcoin community.

I will request that this ban be reversed.

Thank you.
