 Don't you work for Taproot Wizards? 
 Does that mean the code doesn't work?? 
 Yes 
 So how can we trust you if you're helping to poison the water and at the same time shilling an antidote?  
 It's just a retarded troll script to fork your node off.  
 The idea that I should charge you to reduce self-harm is also retarded and venal and sociopathic.  
 No. It's a script to fork *your* node off the network. 
 You dont have to trust me. Its open source. Its a short script. Read it yourself. Or pay someone to read it and explain it to you. This is how bitcoin works 
 I don't trust your intentions, which is impossible to verify as you've ruined your reputation being part of a scam. 
 This is how life works 
 You dont have to trust my intentions. If bitcoin only works with good intentions, bitcoin fails. Bitcoin works because of open source code and economics. This is the exact same, except its much shorter code. 

You get to run whatever code you want on your computer. If you dont understand that, you should not be using bitcoin 
 This is exactly why I don't have to run your code (disguised under good intentions) and fork off my node. I will keep applying the current consensus even if you keep spamming the mempools. Eventually the TW scam will die by itself due to Economic reasons. We'll se who prevails then.

 Not sure that taproot wizards are behind the last fee pump. They are a lot of actors that want to control bitcoin, or just watch it fail.
