THANKS FOR SUMMARIZING! <3

> Unfortunately, he did not seem to have prepared a proper opening statement, which was disappointing.  I would have liked to see a more formal argument.

Me too, this was really pathetic... dude, nobody told him how to debate or what a formal debate _looks like_...? C'mon, BROOO.

> This gets to the heart of the whole OP_RETURN debate, where Core's position is that while OP_RETURN filters may work to filter out large OP_RETURNs, they haven't actually worked to prevent people from publishing arbitrary data. Peter did say that it would be more productive if this debate actually moved to the protocol level, rather than the node implementation level, which was interesting.

Same, lots of this surrounds "I don't like what other people are doing with our shared monetary database." It's like, cool... what else is new; also, _go away_ -- disagreement over usage is obvious and what Bitcoin is here to make redundant and irrelevant.

>  Peter went back to the assertion that even if you put in the filters, people will find ways to get around them. At this point the discussion felt like it was going in circles.

100%. Same old, same old.
