I don't care what spammers do to get their data on chain. What I do care about ia having the option to do what I want with my computer. That's it. Everyone keeps turning the discussion to "If you were king of Bitcoin how would you stop spam?"
I am just one participant, with a few nodes, that wants to run code with more options not fewer, okay?
But you do have the option to do what you want with your computer, run whatever node software you want, modify it and redistribute it, heck there's even a maintained fork of bitcoin core that aligns with the values that you have if you don't have the time or inclination to do that.
but your freedom to run whatever software you want, doesn't extend into an entitlement to command open source software developers to make software you want as you want it, especially when they have technical reasons, whether you think they're right or wrong or understand them or don't understand them, for believing that the option is ineffective at preventing the spam that you don't want on your computer, and causes other harms to every node on the network running that software by increasing block propagation times.
I am not commanding. I am saying they are short sighted and adding more support for spam. It's speech, not force.
