My problem with Luke is really his over the top suggestions that this whole topic is something that will kill bitcoin. I mean, on its face that is pretty ridiculous to me. When I read some things by him about this "filters" idea early on found that position ridiculous. Its such a basic economics/incentive thing that most of us (I think) realized the spam problem would be fixed by monetary use eventually. Luke has lost credibility with me. But this shouldn't be about Luke, but he's not making it easy to take his side. I do respect things he has done with Ocean and his contributions to bitcoin, but he's really tarnishing that work.
