Knots is losing. That's why they have devolved into smearing their opposition as pro csam. They can't win in an honest intellectual debate about how this actually affects the blockchain. They never could in the first place which is why they started with "spammer bad, knots good"

The whole thing has been a big "look at me, I have the moral high ground"

Now that's not working anymore. So now it's not just spam. Now if you run core, they want to paint you as pro pedophilia and tagging the FBI to come get you. Literally.

At first the debate was just stupid. Now it's incredibly reckless and I feel like I must defend my position.
