Ok, there ya go.
We've arrived together at the Truth. It is censorship, and that's the point of it. Thank you.
I don't disagree that we need to adjust things. A discount for witness data doesn't seem appropriate anymore. However, you do want the censorship, you don't just want to keep the transaction propagation costs away from your personal node. You want the dominant implementation to be on your filtering configuration to effectuate censorship.
You want to effectuate censorship of some 'bad' transactions. That's a bit awkward for anarchists to swallow, to say the least. It's not inaccurate to say this, as established.
There's no threat to Bitcoin from these transactions. It's about costs and paying them for things you don't approve of. You don't want the network to pay, for your node to cost more for things that you don't approve of.
Bitcoin isn't what you approve of it being. It is what it is. It is what we make it. It isn't only what it was intended to be. It isn't a Constitution. It's alive. It becomes what we make it. I look forward to a world where it eats everything. Every title, every payment, every major legal document or contract.
Why not? Technically, not morally. Why, technically, could we not? Are we not preparing for millions of tx per sec on lightning? Oh are we afraid of the little government man who wants to hassle us for some garbage data on our nodes?
Defend yourself. Bitcoin shouldn't have to shapeshift to protect you.
