Was BIP-110 avoidable?
How specifically do you mean that?
reply
Not very, I think. My question is less about BIP-110 specifically and more about how we can discuss controversial ideas without throwing virtual shit at each other again, with everyone and their mom taking a side, including me.
For example, I must admit, I forgot there are usually more than just two sides to a debate. It became very black and white. And I def think less of everyone who supported BIP-110. I considered keeping receipts, but I didn’t.

What led you to react that way? I never particularly cared who supported what.
I did stop following people on both sides who routinely made bad faith arguments, though.

Writing this must have been a cathartic experience for him, just like reading it was for me.
The main question I still have: Was BIP-110 avoidable? Did we just witness human nature, or did the medium of most exchange, the internet, something I called a resentment machine in one of my journal entries, cause it for the most part?
