My interpretation is that he's saying Satoshi wouldn't be welcome to return as Satoshi, because whatever he did/said would inevitably end up being treated with authority, which shouldn't be the case.<span></span><br><br>On Tuesday, August 18, 2015, Warren Togami Jr. via bitcoin-dev <<a href="mailto:bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org">bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">I honestly don't understand your position, but I get the sense that you are suggesting Satoshi wouldn't be welcome to return if he wanted to be active in development again?</p>

I would simply block the creators old email addresses. Easy with<br>
Mailman. I thought that would be a good and easy approach, but maybe I'm<br>
wrong.<br>
<br>
Some believes it is possible that the email could be genuine. Some say<br>
that only the content is important. I have closely followed. An<br>
interesting discussion. Thank you all so far.<br>
<br>
But let's say the poster would be the real Satoshi. Would we discuss his<br>
posting if he would not claim to be Satoshi? There are a lot of smart<br>
people on this list, which publish occasionally quite useful ideas. But<br>
much of this is hardly the subject of greater discussion. Especially not<br>
when it comes to the blocksize. On this subject almost everything has<br>
been already said. But not yet by everyone. Especially not by Satoshi.<br>
<br>
Satoshi would have a decisive influence on the community. I'm sure. To<br>
say it does not matter who's talking is maybe genteelly but a little bit<br>
remote from everyday life. Or not? Satoshi is the creator. What he says<br>
is in the newspaper and is perceived by all. If he says it's okay to do<br>
nothing as long as we stand together, then people have the courage to do<br>
maybe something dangerous or something wrong. Then people only follow<br>
their hearts. Otherwise they follow their fear. It is a paradox of the<br>
human nature that some type of Dictatorship can make you free. I say<br>
some type, not any type. Enough said.<br>
