Thanks for engaging too! Like I said, we want the same thing.
I also know what it's like to be scared for Bitcoin's future, because I lived through the block size war when it genuinely felt like bitcoin was headed towards its end. Then I spent all my free time following Craig Wright back when there seemed to be a chance he could actually win and make bitcoin development all but illegal.
The fear and upset are real, because self-sovereign money is so important. We have this chance, and we must protect bitcoin at all cost.
But with respect, you're overreacting in this case, and you're in good company, because this is being encouraged by certain people.
I'm just a stranger on the internet, but I can tell you this with great conviction: if bitcoin goes bad, it will not be because of any changes Core makes to its OP_RETURN policy.

lol I love how our engagament has evolved!
Thanks for recognizing and reasurring a "younger" bitcoiner in distress, much appreciated man
I do hope me and others are overreacting over nothing, but I think the reason why this thing got so many ppl (who don't get the tech 100%) uneasy is the fact that some things (which have nothing to do with tecnhical aspects) stink.... I'm referring to:
- PR being locked, then unlocked to let someone submit ACK, then locked again
- ppl paid to submit PR withouth disclosing it upfront
- the focus being on miners wellbeing rather than nodes
- core smirking at oppostion during btc++ debate
- core devs saying things like "if you don't like what we are doing just change software", instead of reassuring ppl when they express concern for what you are doing
I don't know man, I do hope I am the retard here and my impressions are totally wrong. But anyway like many said, in the end this whole debate is good because it has fostered engagement and highlighted some issues to work on
