Hey I'd be honored if you'd read my response, and to know what you think of the conclusions.

eh so I think I feel not very heard by you on blocklists?
like, I don't know how many times I wrote--both in my post and in my tweets--that I *don't* think it should mean that e.g. validators and blockchains are police, but my reading of your post implies that you think I did?

From your original post, it isn't clear where/how you draw the line. I think this is why so many have been upset about.
"Everyone should respect OFAC’s sanctions lists"
Everyone? Every American or all humans? Should a protocol developer from Japan be blocking all Iranians?

Hear you on that!
From the post:
"Similarly, validators have a core duty to correctly validate blocks-not to judge or police them"
"Validators themselves purely have the goal of confirming that proposed blocks..., not separately parsing and policing regulatory content"
Replying to
That's well said, but then... why should a validator just "process the data" but a front-end dev should be making AML judgements?
^ this is the fundamental incongruity of your post and the most important to address.

Dear and , I think it would be great if you'd discuss this issue on a Twitter space or the like.
