Don't you think its weird that anytime i try to criticize the protocol and tradeoffs, a bunch of people want to attack me personally? Is anyone here capable of earnest debate?

I thought the debate we were having was earnest, and I have seen other people here debate you earnestly. Sure this may not be a formal debate, and we may use words that are (mostly) not uttered in debates, but come on. I don't think the personal attacks help, I agree with you but you can't just say that nobody on nostr is willing to entertain a proper debate
