Gavin, the NSA and XT...

Bitcoin-XT represents a somewhat reckless approach, which in the name of advancement shatters existing structures, fragments the community, and spins the ecosystem into chaos.

Excellent way to show the world the IQ sample of bitcoin XT bashers.

Thanks for proving my point.

Yes, Meni R is likely to have a very high IQ.  The Weizmann Institute of Science doesn't just give you an M.Sc. in mathematics because they like the cut of your jib.

Here some parts of the reddit post:

To me, Bitcoin-XT represents a somewhat reckless approach, which in the name of advancement shatters existing structures, fragments the community, and spins the ecosystem into chaos. Whereas Bitcoin Core represents a frigid approach, where no technology improvement will ever be made because consensus can't be reached,

Given the choice between short-term sticking with 1MB or going all the way to 8MB, I am in favor of going to 8MB.
Given the choice between sticking with Bitcoin Core or switching to Bitcoin-XT, I am in slight favor of sticking with Bitcoin Core, but that could change any time.

All that said, the parent post explaining theymos' policy makes no sense to me. As explained above, the possibility of forking is an integral part of Bitcoin.

I recommend reading the whole thing. Meni Rosenfeld seems like a smart guy.

The quote was not out of context.  The surrounding text doesn't change the plain meaning of the sentence

Bitcoin-XT represents a somewhat reckless approach, which in the name of advancement shatters existing structures, fragments the community, and spins the ecosystem into chaos.

Meni doesn't say "slash sarcasm" or "just kidding" in the next paragraph.  He doesn't clarify that by "reckless" he actually meant "admirable."  He doesn't explain that he really meant "shatters/fragments/chaos" in a *GOOD* way.

You are just trying to deflect and spin his specific (and harsh) criticisms of XT, by using his other irrelevant positive opinions on larger blocks in general.

Gavin: "XT?"  Meni: "NACK"

iCEBREAKER: "lol rekt"

So you agree Meni is likely to have a very high IQ, and Bitcoin-XT is reckless chaos?

No i dont agree to anything, you're just acting like a piece of shit and even take craps out of context.

Are you so mad right now ?

Are you serious? Context is everything. Have you ever written a scientifically paper? I have. Quoting out of context is one of the worst things you can do.
He criticizes XT and Core, Gavin and theymos, but he says, he might switch to XT.

So we can't take E=MC^2 out of the context of Einstein's scientific paper?  Why not?

What happens if we do?  I mean, besides you getting butthurt and scolding us.

Your scientific paper gets rejected.
Also, it doesn't seem like you understand what "quoting out of context" means.

Why would postings to internet forums need to meet the rigorous standards of scientific papers?  Does Trolltalk's SMF even support LaTeX2ε?

Oh wait, you're just moving the goalposts out of the stadium, because you wish to rationalize your attempt to deflect and spin Meni's harsh criticism of your beloved Panopticon.   

Whine and dismiss all you like.  Nothing in the surrounding text mitigates the self-evident meaning of the conceptually independent passage
