What do you call those tremors that presage the Big Quake? I was never much of a JJGeeologist.
You can be a little more direct, if you are trying to get in digs in at me.
Yet, There seems to be no predictive value or "I told you so" value taking place at the moment, because i do not engage in any real specific or absolute attempts to predict the short-term price direction of BTC... furthermore your various posts predicting the ultimate downfall of BTC and its various deficiencies are also not really short-term predictions (and do not seem to be at play with the current downturn in BTC prices.
Anyhow, I stand by my earlier comments relating to your seemingly disingenuous tendencies.
Why am I the issue at all? It shouldn't matter if my arguments are sincere or not. It should only matter if they are valid. Smallblockers think making blockspace more expensive makes them more valuable, when usually things become expensive because they are already more valuable.
I remember when I used to think that having a large vocabulary was an adequate substitute for good judgment. Most people grow out of that.
You are not the issue, except to the extent that you seem to purposefully attempt to make yourself the issue by your apparent various personal striving for unnecessary attention to yourself and/or your wanting to get credit.
You are correct that raising valid concerns would be an appropriate measure of whether arguments, facts and our opinions should be brought up and pursued; however, you cannot really remove sincerity from the formula in order to judge validity and weight to be given to arguments, facts and opinions.
If you are not sincere, your presentations will likely strike the wrong tone and also become selfish or self-absorbed because of failure/refusal to recognize contributions of others and/or the value of providing space for others to contribute and to have input.
Each of us make judgements about how to present ourselves, and if we are doing so without sincerity, then we will detach ourselves from meaningful interactions. I am not trying to be all lovey dovey about this subject, because I don't think
a person has to be lovey dovey in order to at least acknowledge and allow for varying contributions and perspectives of others and sincerity frequently becomes more important than correctness (or validity as you labelled it).
small block, large block, who the fuck cares, it is not a black or white question as you seem to attempt to frame it because we could go down either direction and experience a variety of fixes for either solution.. surely maybe one is better than the other and surely there is nothing wrong with making various arguments and/or proposals concerning the advantages and/or disadvantages of one direction as compared with the other direction and the irreversibility of certain choices... like the robert frost poem, concerning choosing directions in a road, and sometimes you cannot go back to the previous choice point, but each of the forks in the road could still potentially get you to various destinations that can be adjusted along the way and sometimes even new paths created at various points down the road.
regarding your large vocabulary point, sure, many of us grow along the way and we revise our viewpoints with increased knowledge and sometimes we can see errors in the ways of others, but sometimes (and maybe even frequently) when dealing with others we may have to still respect and/or accept the input of the other and allow them to grow out of their own immaturities (even though they may never grow out of such)
