One thing I've learned being at the btc++ conference is that the dividing line between camps is how much control Bitcoin Core, or anyone short of everyone, has over what bitcoin is and should be.
  • "fix the filters" because bitcoin is and should be money
  • "remove this filter that causes a bigger problem than it solves" because bitcoin is what consensus allows
Yes, I think that's a good way to frame the debate. And I guess my pov is that it's too early to define bitcoin as a simple thing like "money". We should be more open-minded.

thesis - antithesis - synthesis; bitcoin will continue to suck until people recognize that continuing to create controversies is an obstacle to progress; really, bitcoin is the reflection of bitcoiners' mindset... admittedly tho, it sucks less than the rest of the world;
