The point is that people need to stop this bad behaviour and start using Bitcoin correctly.

then teach them how to transact properly through a youtube tutorial. instead of putting in protocol bureaucracy that will cause transaction delays..

this to me is not about teaching people the right way, but to hit people with a delay stick as many times as it takes until they get it right.

have you atleast made a massive announcement that there will be expected transaction delays if people do not transact properly, on bitcointalks main thread, or the foundations website.

no? well start tutoring people before knocking their financial kneecaps with block change protocols

i must also highlight the voting (stats taken at time stamp of this post

You're an idiot, don't do this!   - 59 (36.6%)
I don't like this, but I agree we need to move forward with it.   - 14 (8.7%)
We should have waited longer, but I guess it needs to move forward now.   - 19 (11.8%)
Great, it's about time!   - 23 (14.3%)
You're a hero, let's get this deployed everywhere ASAP!   - 35 (21.7%)
If it's from Luke, it can't be any good.   - 11 (6.8%)

which simplified down is
103 say no to implementation 64%
58 say yes implement the change to miner protocol 36%

so why luke have you decided to go against consensus and implement it with elegius?

I read the poll more along these lines. Opposed: 43.2% In favour with varying degrees of support: 56.5% Rounding 0.3%. There is a fair degree of support for this. We must also keep in mind the following

Why does my Bitcoin address keep changing?

Whenever the address listed in "Your address" receives a transaction, Bitcoin replaces it with a new address. This is meant to encourage you to use a new address for every transaction, which enhances anonymity. All of your old addresses are still usable: you can see them in Settings -> Your Receiving Addresses.

from https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/FAQ#Why_does_my_Bitcoin_address_keep_changing.3F The original design of Bitcoin was that address reuse is to be the exception rather than the norm and what is been done here follows this intent. I get the distinct impression here that Coin Validation has fired a shot across the bow of Bitcoin and someone has just shot back.
