On “it’s a consensus change”: Nodes that don’t signal BIP-110 still validate the same blocks. No chain split. No forced upgrade. The activation mechanics exist to coordinate relay policy adoption — not to invalidate competing blocks. SegWit itself used signaling thresholds. You didn’t call that a consensus attack. That’s a False Equivalence — dressing a relay policy in consensus language to make it sound more dangerous than it is.

On Core and Ordinals: You’re half right. Core didn’t write the inscription code. But Luke raised it as a bug in 2022. Core maintainers disagreed. They chose the path of inaction — repeatedly. That’s not a neutral technical history. That’s a decision. Calling it “unrelated” is a Straw Man — nobody said Core wrote Ordinals. We said Core chose not to fix it, and that choice had consequences measured in gigabytes of junk per block.

You filter Ordinals at your own relay layer. Great. BIP-110 coordinates that across the network. Those goals are identical. The disagreement is whether to do it alone or together.

You migrated away from coordination. Then called it analysis.
