You said, “Filters = censorship,” and argued that OP_RETURN filters don’t work because some spammers slip through, so just remove them.

Now you call for filtering people out of society.

By your own logic, that’s censorship too.

Maybe start small and undo the censorship of my Bitcoin (hard)Core GitHub ban @esomore.

In real life people have identities. They do not on the Bitcoin chain. And that's intentional.

Bitcoin transactions don’t have identities; that’s the point of neutrality.

But you’re the one who said filters = censorship and argued they should be removed since some spammers slip through.

By that same logic, filtering people in society is censorship, too. You can’t use “filters = censorship” as a weapon in Bitcoin debates, and you can drop it when convenient.
