I am not saying I am convinced by this idea, but:

How do we know that BIP-110 is not actually a part of the complex’s agenda too? How do we know that we are not being attacked at both fronts?

What if BIP-110 is a proof of concept to the idea that if you can get enough people riled up on Twitter, you can inject code into Bitcoin that censors transactions. You get people riled up first by corrupting Core.

While you may agree with this censorship. What about the next one? It’s a slippery slope.

Again, I’m not even sure I agree with this idea. But it has crossed my mind.

The way this conversation has carried itself feels just like political movements that end up growing power of the State.

I think we should all be very careful and mindful of how our minds are manipulated on algorithmically manipulated platforms.

If someone decides to rile up a mob with a retarded softfork, we would know, and a credible URSF will be proposed to counter it. So far for BIP 110, no such sentiment is present. No one would reject a fork to keep Bitcoin spam free.
