My only point is that it's foolish to tear down functionality just because a subset of its uses are annoying. Spam doesn't break Bitcoin and that's a proven fact. Illicit material on the blockchain can't break Bitcoin because no government's authority spans the whole internet. Spam can't make the blockchain grow faster than blocks full of monetary transactions can. None of the arguments hold water. And the fact that there is a small group of people that uncommonly militant about this and trying to get as many people on board with the soft forks using any means necessary only adds to my suspision that the functionality they're trying to kill is more important than people think and worth defending.
