Since you replied to me;

I put forward about 10 reasons in the last 24 hours and all you remembe=

something with fees.  Which, thats the funny part, I never wrote as bei=

I would really like to avoid putting blame. I'd like to avoid the FUD=20=

accusation and calling people paranoid, even yourself, sounds rather ba=
d=20
too...

Personally I think its a bad idea to do write the way you do, which is =
that=20
some people have to prove that bad things will happen if we don't make =
a=20
certain change. It polarizes the discussion and puts people into camps.=
 People=20
have to choose sides.

I've been reading the blocksize debate for months now and have been=20
wondering=20
why people here are either for or against, it makes no sense to me.
Neither camp is right, and everyone knows this!
Everyone knows that bigger blocks doesn't solve the scalability problem=

Everyone knows that you can't get substantial growth using lightning or=
 higher=20
fees in, say, the next 12 months.
