Yes you are, here's the conclusion of your original post:
Maybe you should fork off with your pedo coin and leave us with our theocratic authoritarian coin?
So if you aren't running the pure version of Bitcoin right now, then you are GUILTY!
That was a rhetorical response to the ridiculousness of suggesting that running filters leads to theocratic authoritarianism.
How about this, if you run Core v30 you are a pedophile propagating CSAM. Doesn't that sound stupid? Even so, it is more literally true than the slippery slope of theocratic authoritarianism.

It's not rhetorical at all. Forking is the exact solution to the problem you are whining about.

The exact solution is promoting knots and helping people to understand the nuances of deterministic and probabilistic (pragmatic) solutions that you seem incapable of or unwilling to grasp.

You're wrong, you have to run Bitcoin Pure to fork the blockchain. Knots syncs to the same chain as Core, so your node will download the exact same data.

I don't have a problem with validated transactions though.
Knots is concerned with influencing what will be validated in the future.
Its not true that what is consensus valid will get validated, because the fee might be too high for the sender if nodes can influence that cost, so it won't get sent.

Why don't you have a problem with CSAM after your node downloads and validates it?
reply
Because as a matter of trade offs, if I didn't relay it then it's not my responsibility.
I accept that CSAM exists even if I do my best to prevent it from being propagated. Core v30 actively supports it at the expense of bitcoin as a monetary network.
See the distinction?

Regulations against CSAM punish the consumer of the content, not just the distributor.
