Anyway my point is this: please don't leave just because you feel like supporting "the wrong side" here. There are people and ideas worth supporting on all sides.

As I say, it was never about that. This place even hasn't been quite so bad as what has happened and continues to happen on Reddit but things have been done that have greatly damaged the community and more.

I would not put your opinion down either. You have been around long enough that you surely have a good feel for what works and what doesn't. Just because someone has a speciality in cryptography or coding doesn't mean they're right about everything (in fact, often the opposite). If that still puts you in the small block camp, fair enough but don't be afraid to think for yourself.

You're right, the people with the deepest insight into coding and cryptography often end up having the least amount of knowledge about the implications of Bitcoin for the economy & society. That's the kind of beast Bitcoin is - it is extremely difficult to grasp and comprehend it in its entirety.

For now I am cautiously in the small block camp while vigilantly watching out for any sort of shenanigans.

The biggest victim of all this has been the ability of the community to hold a civilized debate focusing on arguments instead of ad hominem attacks. But that's the kind of times we're living in right now...

I guess I should be happy, being a discordian and all, but this sort of discord just feels wrong. It takes itself too seriously. And only angels fly, because they take themselves lightly, while those of us who are full of shit cling to the ground of seriousness. Roll Eyes
