There is certainly a lack of nuanced, dialectical discussion happening and we won’t get much further without it. I align ideologically with the Knots camp, though I don’t know technically that it’s really a fix (yes, I also understand that they understand that too).
Ideally, I don’t want arbitrary bullshit on-chain. But I also hear the core argument and understand where they’re coming from (I think).
It’s when it devolves into literal monkey shit throwing, calling each other retards, that’s when I tune out.

Agree, and there have been fallacious and emotional arguments made on both sides. I know it was frustrating for some of the core developers, but so many of their arguments amounted to "you're too stupid to understand this", and that certainly had a lot to do with the backlash from smart people who were just aren't developers.
And then the argument from the other side that people have been bought off. Well, most of these people have unimaginable amounts of Bitcoin compared to the average person who's claiming that they've been bought off. Now, they could be threatened. That could be, but it's not exactly Ocum's razor.
I'm running knots. It's to make a statement. It's multiple statements, actually.
