I'm providing some perspective and scope-- referencing again your comment about following actions-- what element of the many dozens of responses suggests to you that _anyone_ is not being listened to? While I'm sure its not intended; your selective editing ends up butchering the meaning---- I pointed out that there have been disputes, even ones involving regular contributors (and, implicitly, that I'm not lying by omission in not mentioning that the dispute was a joke or from someone well known to attack Bitcoin) or-- in other words, evidence that the disagreement was not less meaningful than what you're talking about here. That's all, sorry I was unclear again. Did you see in my message that I invited you to take a look for examples-- I think they're easily found and you would find it informative. I really recommend spending some time looking.
