If you have the courage to say people are spreading FUD you really shou= ld=20 have already exhausted all possible avenues of cooperation.

It saddens me if you really are giving up trying to understand what peo= ple=20 equally enthusiastic about this technology may see that you don't see. > It's just seems strange to me that you don't want to prove to me that= 's not > the case when it is so easy to do so: just answer the d@#/&m question= . In the evolution of Bitcoin over the next couple of years we need bigge= r=20 blocks for a lot of different reasons. One of them is that LN isn't her= e. The other is that we have known bugs that we have to fix, and that will= take=20 time. Time we are running out of. To buy more time, get bigger blocks now. Anyway, I dislike your approach, as I said in the previous mail. Its not about people spreading FUD or sidestepping the question, it is = about=20 keeping the discussion civilised. You are essentially the one that ask= s; "if you are not beating your wife, please prove it to me". And the you get upset when I try to steer the conversation into less=20= black/white situations... And, yes, that analogy is apt because you can't prove either. --=20 Thomas Zander
