Feels like we are being forked in another way. As in the question, "When did you stop beating your wife," the emotional framing makes it difficult to answer. Feels like some framing needs to be rejected. Like it's a logical fallacy of the excluded middle. Even more so when in this case where dear Matthew is adding urgency to the decision. Not sure if his answer is right or wrong yet but the urgent pressing is reminiscent of a phishing campaign, trying to get suckers with urgent messaging. The CSAM alarm seems similar to Apple's justification for accessing icloud photos. Nobody in their right mind wants to host CSAM. But the answer in the BIP (if i understand correctly) of preemptively adding reorgs is not only centralizing but it reminds me of Wasabi's preemptive boot licking cuckery. No sane person wants CSAM but every sane person should want permissionless decentralized money that actually settles with finality. May the Lord grant us wisdom about this and raise up clear thinkers and leaders among us to help us know the right way forward. Grace be with is.

this is not the first time luke has attacked a blockchain. in 2012 he used eligius pool to perform a 51% attack on coiledcoin. he took unilateral action and the miners who used his pool were not aware of what was going on. luke has displayed a pattern of using resources that don't really belong to him to block or damage things he does not like, and not being transparent about it during or after. if you run his node software or signal his BIPs, don't be surprised what he tries to sneak into it to serve his own destructive and autocratic agendas. luke is a bad actor.
