However, when a newbie makes a question and this beast comes spitting nonsensical FUDs that bring confusion and upheaval then the thing takes another dimension. Shall you leave this unchallenged?

Last time I saw it, the ~~Newbie~~ Full Member saw right through it and called his BS.

I added a heads up:

False.
False.

In case you didn't know yet: franky1 doesn't like LN and has been spreading lies about it for a long time. It has earned him negative feedback from 3 highly knowledgeable users, and an "informal ban" from the tech boards (meaning his posts will be deleted on sight).
TL;DR: you're wasting your time trying to explain things to him.

Then challenge it instead of ignoring him.

People have tried. The problem with trolls is that they feed on attention. If he posts the same "opinion" in many different topics, it's useless to challenge the same thing over and over again. I have franky1 on ignore, and there's always someone who's unaware of him being an anti-LN-troll who tries it again. And if enough people add him to their ignore list, eventually his posts will remain unchallenged and someone may believe it.

I'm strongly against banning people's speech just because it is in fact, or is considered to be, misinformation.

Agreed.

I think red tag here is uncalled for. Expressing an opinion (no matter how wrong or "FUD" it may seem to someone else) shouldn't make a user "high risk".

Agreed, I think neutral would fit better. But clearly some people who know much more about Bitcoin than me think otherwise.
