The rules are not disconnected from purpose. Satoshi designed these rules for a purpose which was to create p2p digital money.
If the rules are no longer serving the purpose well, I think it's a legitimate position to say we should change the rules.
And I don't know Knut's position, but I'm not even sure he's saying the rules should change, just that he doesn't value the opinions of a certain group
In any case, I don't agree with his original statement at all but I understand where it comes from
Neither have I spoken with Knut, so perhaps I am mischaracterizing his position.
If the rules are no longer serving the purpose well, I think it's a legitimate position to say we should change the rules.
I agree with this completely. The problem is that the filter debate has not proposed changing the rules, rather the "policies" which are not rules.
My point was that we all agree to certain rules when we start using bitcoin and it's nonsensical to say that "well actually, some of those rules that I previously agreed to are evil and bad."
Different rules = different coin. If people want others to use a different coin, convince them to follow your rules. Don't try to claim that the coin we have been using actually had different rules all along.
