Any interest in sharing the identity of the apparent primary account? It would be very helpful to my sanity and personal safety to know more about the persons stalking me around and harassing me online...

> Average cost per TX is over $2.00 right now [2]

Thanks for demonstrating that you're probably not even a Bitcoin user at all. (The median transaction size is 226 bytes, -- and so you're using a figure per kB-- so equal to 4.5 txn.)

(doubly ironic to see you complain about segwit in one breath and transaction fees in the next)

> people are waiting 6+ hours for a TX and are forced

You can choose how long you'd like to wait in exchange for more or less fees-- this how the system works, no one is forced to do anything.

> with a financial incentive to see Bitcoin fail

I have large incentives to see Bitcoin be successful-- but can you articulate any way that I can profit from failure?

I'm here writing to you with a well known identity, upfront about what I work on and what I think is important. If you're angry that other people won't rewrite Bitcoin's rules to suit whatever agenda you have-- that sounds like a personal problem. It certainly isn't my problem.

The hell are you talking about? He says there's a backlog, you say there's a backlog, where's the disagreement other than your unrelated anger toward him?
