Spam is such a big problem on the internet that most of us webmasters have had to shut down forums and close comments on our blogs.

It's why I've been so excited for lightning used as a spam filter, even though I haven't seen an implementation yet outside of stacker news.

Spam is wasting hundreds of manhours with moderators and resources.

If I choose to filter ordinals and other spam transactions from my mining template, I have every right to do it. You can just go to another miner and send your transaction, they'll be happy to accept the sats.

Permissionless does not mean anarchy. You have every right to spam the protocol, I have every right to filter it because you're wasting my time and resources.

I won't run the ord disrespector only because the guys promoting it are deranged spooks and because it's untested code.

But if the next bitcoin core version filters out a huge chunk of spam, I'll run it.
