BitMEX Research(@BitMEXResearch ):Seems that some people are deeply disappointed that the 83 byte OP_Return limit wasn't a consensus rule and they think it ought to have been. Therefore they act as if it was a consensus rule. Very similar to how the larger blockers were deeply disappointed that the 1MB Blocksize limit was a consensus rule and tried to act as if it wasn't, act as if there was no such thing as consensus rules or act as if consensus rules are fuzzy. Maybe the OP_Return relay limit should have been a consensus rule, but it isn't. They need to accept that reality and accept the reality of what consensus rules mean.
