I am not sure what you would call it if you send bitcoin to yourself over and over again automaticly in order to prove a point that bitcoin needs to "scale NOW"!!

I do not agree with him in this statement "If You Pay the Fee, the Transaction Is Not Spam" because in the last transactions attack, the spam txs were paying high fees to be in blocks and delay normal txs in their first confirmation.

Yep, but that is not spam. That is sending a message to everyone, "bigger blocks now, my way, my bip, my team, or else I will do it again".
