> Two developers, nullc and pieter are against increasing the blocksize at a reasonable rate.

Careful, what is "reasonable" is what is at issue here. There are legitimate arguments being made on both sides.

One side - your side specifically maaku and that of your employer blockstream - loses complete legitimacy when they start censoring posts and spoofing Satoshi's email address.

Neither Blockstream nor any of the core developers have affiliation with r/bitcoin, bitcointalk, or bitcoin.org. By design, mind you, for the purpose of ensuring decentralization. I may have the book badge on the subreddit, but I'm as helpless about censorship as you are.

Yet you and some of your other blockstream colleagues are cheering on the censorship in r/bitcoin.

I am not and I don't know anyone at Blockstream who is. Care to back that up with a link?

Oh, please. The reddit moderators and satoshi asshat have nothing to do with Maaku or Blockstream.

Andrew, your logic is slimy. You are trying to associate Maaku and Blockstream with something they are not. You didn't respond to Maaku's point at all. You're being such an asshole!

This debate needs to chill out.

Sure, s/reasonable/meaningful/. It's about whether to have a notable increase right now, with very-small or not-now increases going on the 'no' side.
