I don't know a whole lot about lightning nodes (though I did try to understand them a while back until my eyes glazed over), but that doesn't matter. Franky1 could be arguing about bitcoin itself, my mom, or COVID--I don't support this forum banning anyone based on their opinions of things unless they're absolutely trolling, which I don't think franky1 is. He might be wrong, his opinions might be loud and in-your-face, but the only thing I'd support is people shunning him if they don't like what he has to say.

The best way to do that is to use the ignore button. That way we can preserve freedom of speech and at the same time you don't have to see posts you know you're not going to want to see.

This is exactly my stance too. We don't have to look at others with disdain because they hold a contrary opinion to ours. What if later ours was found to be wrong and theirs right? What happens then? I believe some of us here might've read about the reaction of the world when the first set of Greek philosophers said the world was spherical. The popular belief then was that the world wasnt. At the end, we know the right thing now. The best anyone can do if they don't like the sound of his opinion is to use the ignore button. That's one of the reasons it's there.

I think the call for a ban for franky1 is an overkill.
