Perhaps this is where our true disagreement is:

I think bitcoin can only be a useful money if it is censorship resistant. All other value in bitcoin comes from this.

Censorship resistant means (in part) anyone can get a valid transaction confirmed even if (especially if) others don't want them to.

Filters have nothing to do with censorship resistance. Run them or don't. But if you believe they can prevent valid transactions from getting confirmed, then whatever money bitcoin is, doesn't have much value in my opinion.

(Luckily, I think filters are fairly ineffective and weak, so I'm still hopeful for btc as money.)
