The direction in which this thread has gone makes it no longer suitable for Meta. We are no longer discussing whether or not franky1 should/could be banned. The topics now are the Lightning Network, BIPs, and SegWit. It can't be moved to Bitcoin Technical boards, because franky1 is banned from posting there. Maybe locking it would be the best thing to do as there is obviously no support for banning the person. Would be nice to see him calm down a bit though and spread his wings.
