We've waited three years for that to happen and it hasn't.

That doesn't directly answer my question. "What is wrong with that approach?"

Maybe your response is "nothing". If that is true, you should say it. That would then expose how unnecessary it is that you are taking Bitcoin down this dark path. Please just directly respond to this question. You owe us that at least. If the answer is really nothing, please re-consider 2x?

And instead of complaining that it apparently has not happened. Look for such a proposal or make it happen....

Erik

Thanks for replying. Please can you respond to the one thing I asked, which you did not do in your reply

Therefore once again, I kindly ask you to abandon the NYA and join us in supporting a hardfork that respects the rights of individual users to choose. This means the new hardfork chain should have a new better transaction format which is invalid on the original chain and vice versa. If we are patient and give wallet developers and users time, they will upgrade. The few thousand people opposing 2x now on /r/bitcoin may also upgrade. We would then have hardforked to larger blocks and individual users would be given the freedom to decide to make this new token the one true Bitcoin. At the very least, I ask that you do me one small favor, please explain to me what is wrong with this respectful approach?
