I can see how you would take it as hostile but it was not meant to be. However, trying to set a precedent on "Let's agree that this money should vanish because we all don't like where it currently is" turns into "I'm a core developer and my wife just left me so I'm just going to ruin her" in relatively few steps.

What you are suggesting would be a centralized backdoor in a decentralized protocol.

honestly, that would make me lose all trust in bitcoin as well. if they can just retroactively delete coins that certain people have. (not to mention for political reasons). imagine the implications of a government gaining tang type of power.

Here's a constructive response: We come together as a society and agree on some rules. Some people break the rules, (and they also withhold money that rightly belong to the community), so the rules say that in that event we take their money and dispense it for the greater good.
