What is the coherent argument other than the gaslighting addressed below:
- "if a message is valid wrt a protocol it can't be spam" (laugh in SMTP)
- "if a message entailed any cost to send once it can't be spam" (laugh in call-center setup investment)
- "spam isn't even possible to define in the first place" (laugh in 40 years of common sense)
- "refusing to download and relay some information to/from your node is censorship thus against Bitcoin ethos" (laugh in consensus rules)
- "Bitcoin Core never used mempool policies to filter unwanted transactions" (laugh in about 12 years of Core history starting from Satoshi)
- "Mempool filters never managed to increase the cost of spam" (laugh in logical consistency with the statement below)
- "By incentivizing OoB payments or UTxOset bloat, mempool filters are actually harming the network" (laugh in logical consistency with the statement above)
- "Bitcoin Core developers are always necessarily well-meaning and questioning that is in itself evil" (laugh in adversarial thinking)
- "Whoever doesn't unconditionally agree with all the statement above must necessarily be an ignorant noob misled by evil Twitter influencers"
