Example, a lot of people here give Foundry a hard time, the operators get annoyed and start to not mine TXs form people whos addresses are public here. (sig campaigns, sales of things, and so on) It's their right, it's their pool. We have no say in it. No government, no OFAC, just FU to Bitcointalk users. The true free enterprise open market people would say 'good it's a private business they can do what they want' the true libertarians would say  'good it's a private business they can do what they want'.

But I have a strong suspicion that a lot of people would come here and cry 'wah wah wah the mean old pool operator is not mining our TXs'

There will be some users who are going to say the following:
-You don't like it, make your own coin!
And fully understandable, when some send other people to use altcoins because you believe in decentralization and you must keep nodes running on two decades old computers on dial-up, it's perfectly understandable to go and create your own coin that doesn't need 10billion and 10Gw of power for protection.  Grin

And it doesn't stop here, how ironic, some talk about blacklisting ordinals, but are enraged by somebody else blacklisting their tx. Gold!

Let's show them how the free market works and that not only miners have a say on this subject!
