If the intent of the anti-dilution crowd is to act as a counter-balance to those who might dilute to fund any and every worker proposal under the sun, then I can appreciate that. And in that case we can all participate in very healthy debates as to which proposals are worthy and which are not. After all, we do need to make sure we're spending wisely.
But if their intent is to prevent any dilution whatsoever, then they are in favor of zero development, total stagnation, and a slow but sure death for Bitshares. That is a fact. No business can be sustained without maintenance and ongoing development, especially in a highly competitive and fast-paced environment. Anyone who would take a completely hard line against dilution is either woefully ignorant or intends to sabotage Bitshares and should be shunned from the community.
