I'm not worried about the miners either. I think Bitcoins Game theory all but makes it inevitable. I'm protective of it too. The most damage is caused (with people) by drama like this. Bitcoin will be fine. But out of this drama people are going to dump their coins or make irrational decisions when they don't need to. I mean it's their loss and I don't care about dollar price but I don't want people to make irrational decisions with their Bitcoin because of Internet drama.

Your "monetary maxis" have no way to solve this problem. People have put arbitrary data into Bitcoin since genesis. The fee mechanism is how we prevent spam. To change that would be to change and hardfork Bitcoin in a way that I would be very hesitant to hold for any amount of time. It makes someone the arbiter of truth. The opposite of a censorship resistant monetary network. In order to have censorship resistance this is the tradeoff to make. Fees.
