Particularly in the media. I also find it\n\u003e unfair if people abuses Satoshi's name to submit their personal views on\n\u003e an issue.\n\nYes, people have been abusing his name in the block size debate to\npresent their own personal views, almost from the beginning, and that\nhas been very annoying.\nBut I don't remember you proposing to block their emails from the list\nin those occasions.\nFor all I know this could have been the real Satoshi. But I just\nmaintain what I've said when arguments of authority (an old fallacy)\nhave been used: only the arguments matter, not who makes them (which\nis also what logic says).\nMaybe the people using the arguments of authority actually care about\nwhether the author is Satoshi or not to determine what they think\nabout what the content says.\nBut I personally don't care: I can say that I agree with what the post\nsays no matter if it is written by Satoshi or someone else (because\nthe identity of the author doesn't change what I think of the\ncontent)."}
