The irony of the "Spam Wars", is both sides think the other is trying to infringe on how they interact with Bitcoin. But it seems to me only one side is actively trying to implement changes to BTC that impede a certain group from interacting with Bitcoin a certain way. Even though that certain way is currently consensus-compliant. So they should go about addressing their concerns by attempting to advocate for the "why" for these changes. Instead they are skipping that step and attempting to force their "own consensus" on the broader protocol.
