I accept that decentralization is the MOST important attribute of the monetary network. I also accept that because it is a network that uses large amounts binary data, it is impossible to control how people interact with it within the rules of consensus especially since there are countless ways to encode non-monetary meaning into large amounts of binary data. Policing that meaning will require centralized authority which runs counter to ideals of this entire endeavor, as well as to your legitimate suggestion that I accept it will be used by people I don’t like.
