There's three camps: idiots and scammers who think art can be tokenized, people who acknowledge ordinals don't violate the protocol rules and therefore further discussion is irrelevant, and idiots who think they can do something to stop camp 1

re: camp 2, further discussion is relevant in order to change the protocol rules to fight inscriptions
re: camp 1, a blocksize decrease would "do something to stop camp 1" because it would make inscriptions more expensive and possibly prompt their creators to go make them somewhere else

YOU IDIOT
lol jk, that's all very fair, and may I say I am a fan of your instructional videos.
I am open to discussing protocol changes to get rid of inscriptions. I guess I was more criticizing discussions that are just about "do you like ordinals or are you mad???". This probably goes without saying, but a protocol change really needs to offer more benefits than just disincentivizing ordinals. It's not a pressing problem, nor do I think it will be.
I do believe I would support a blocksize decrease, and agreed, it would help drive out ordinals.
