One thing I'm glad this OP_RETURN controversy has made clear to us Bitcoiners is that, unlike centralized companies that can quietly change their Terms of Service or User Agreements without our consent, every change in Bitcoin —big or small— is open for debate. We aren’t forced to accept anything sneaked into the code. Our consent cannot be assumed. We can choose to adopt a change or reject it.

It doesn’t matter which side you’re on—Core or Knots—and I respect your choice. What this has reinforced for me is that Terms of Service cannot be imposed on us Bitcoiners. We can literally vote and make our agreement or disagreement heard.
