RE: Now you can see the numbers.
I'm not even calling you emotional. You're looking for ways to downgrade your own opinion on my behalf. I'm here answering you completely reasonably. I'm not going to touch the egotistical bits... but please don't forget to include the second, direct quote, directly following your direct quote that you trimmed off and left out. Context does matter:
Here's your direct quote, "Feeling that the EIP is a fuck you to little guys misses out on some of behaviors the EIP could potentially encourage that we simply cannot achieve any other way," ...and pretending like the EIP can magically account for human behavior in every way perfectly is completely fucking naive.
Followed up by,
Imagining the EIP as a magic bullet is too simple: one size fits all. Imagining the EIP will destroy the platform is too simple: one size fits all.
Really, here's one, "Again, I appreciate your response, and with respect to the fact that people are rightly emotional about this topic,"
Here's another to another user by you, "I appreciate that you've taken time to respond, and with the greatest respect for how raw everyone is feeling,". Stating it broadly doesn't change the implication.
As for context, adding the second half makes no difference to the portion I was addressing. So, the context I highlighted is paraphrasing, " this is the only way".
Adding the second part you are saying the same thing except your implying something is better than nothing, which is ridiculous...

Other people in this thread, including Dreemsteem, have broadly stated they're mad, and I have no issues continuing to address that because I know they are and I do respect that. I also know you feel like you're backing me into some magical corner of logic here, but instead you're basically just repeating things trying to implicate implications and making a muck of it while trying to project I'm projecting on to you.
My actual feelings, which again, I've repeated in many places, are the exact opposite of your badly implicated implication. The EIP numbers are not better than nothing. Now is not the time. They do not solve any of the problems that we need to, and even if it does go through, it won't change the effect of the distribution and 1% abuse, and the price of Steem. Any discussion that does not involve shifting our focus to real problems, instead of debating an EIP, for or against, is not useful in any way to the current real problems of Steem is and not going to get us where we need to go. So yes, you're correct in one thing: there's certainly ridiculous here.
