"We’d rather BCH stopped breaking the protocol"
Wait, when did BCH "break the protocol" ?
I must've missed something :-D

Improvements and additions don’t make it less usable as Cash. I understand someone might prefer other upgrades, but “breaking the protocol” is a big stretch.
I'm against all CHIPs. I don't want to have to worry about whatever new change people come up with. Miners just need to lift limits and that's it.
There's no qualitative difference there right? You have a proposal and you would like people to follow it. How do you convince others in a voluntary permissionless network to follow?
> CHIPs change details about BCH that have to be implemented to validate the chain.
Not all CHIPs affect all users.
> Unmaintained software stops working every 6 months.
No.
Most CHIPs don't affect the ordinary end user at all.
Unless you wish to accept such native tokens, you don't need to validate them (as an application building on top of Bitcoin Cash).
It's an incorrect argument you're making here.
SLP tokens continue to work, if you've already implemented them.
Hard forks are not "totalitarianism"
Hard forks mean you have direct choice.
"Knowledge is power. When you know the rules have changed, you can use that information to take better decisions. With a soft fork, you don’t know the rules have changed" - M. Hearn
The node Is legislative, being a miner (executive) there Is easier. That's My point.
Devs there legislate too but common people can approve or not the new laws with their hash Power.
Disapproving with Monero devs is a hard fork.
The reality doesn't change much.
Your mining XMR generates money. XMR buys voting influence for dev proposals.
BCH is plagued with constantly chasing new shinny thing
Fact of life is that BCH has to compete with other forms of money. It's success depends on adaptation and evolving in a way that attracts people, not deters them. Time will tell.
It's a good feature of the CHIP process that it prevents random people from disrupting the smooth functioning of the network.
There are too many people who don't have Bitcoin Cash's best interests at heart, or maybe they do but they lack real understanding which the CHIP process can bring. Nobody = island.
See here for an explanation about the CHIP process which you are so confused about.

Anybody can raise a CHIP.
It doesn't require a politician or a special power. Just a willingness to learn, engage, build, and canvass other users in the network. Reality of Bitcoin...
In our recent conversation Jason Let us knew he was against CT which found them useless cause SLP already exist.
SLP might work fine for Jason & his site, but other people have raised the problems with them and these problems are well understood by now. BCH needs native tokens to fly.
Why do you have to be against individual CHIPs to be against the idea of CHIPs? What if I like some of the ideas, I just don’t think they’re BCH.
Someone else already mentioned to you, that you can submit a CHIP to change to entire CHIP process (maybe even abolish it if that's what people want to support)
Me: "I don't like that my rights get voted on each November."
BCH Community: "Which ballot measure is negatively effecting you? Be specific. Nothing should negatively impact anyone."
Can you name a right of yours affecting your use of Bitcoin Cash that is somehow under threat?
