Events are not monetary transactions. I understand your comparison I'm saying it's a bad one. Advocating for any type of censorship on bitcoin's network is extraordinarily dangerous. You set a precedent that spam is just arbitrary on our monetary network. What if Democrats start saying Republican transactions are spam? Who are you to say otherwise? Relay operators have a right to censor whoever they want. Nodes do not.

I disagree with you.

As a node runner, I have “rights” and can vote with my node. As long as my vote follows the protocol rules, you cannot take away my freedom of choice.

Further, given the scarcity of blockspace, there will always be “censorship.”

Any given transaction will be included while another is excluded.

I misspoke and reconsidered that fact as soon as I made the comment. You are right. You do have the right to do what you want with your node.

Yes and that censorship should be based on fee, not the content of the transaction.
