 About this:

https://github.com/lightning/bolts/pull/1208

Enough for me to never update neither my core node nor my lightning node. 
 Come on, what am I missing? Who's this ariard guy that you care so much? He sounded a bit paranoid in his comments and you now also look paranoid to distrust binaries over moderation issues in a protocol repository? LN wallet devs are free to completely ignore what the bolt repo introduces or refuses to introduce. What's your concern? 
 So ... they decided to want a CoC. He wanted a different CoC. Nobody answered to his concerns. He kept talking to himself. The CoC got merged and applied to him, resulting in a 3m ban? @Papá-raguayo is this about right? 
 I think he got banned because of this comment: https://github.com/lightning/bolts/pull/1207#issuecomment-2457109597 
 A bit edgy but all in all this alone is probably not reason to get blocked. I'm not too familiar with this repo but it looks like ariard isn't a major contributor and his comments were not welcome, so ... not sure if there is anything important going on. Noisy individuals can burn up a lot of resources but contention over moderation can also bring noisy individuals so not sure ... 
 It has been a long time coming. For every rule there is a patient zero. Nothing to see here IMO. 
 am i missing some context, or is there some legitimacy to the questions? even if they are being asked in a somewhat abrasive way? 
 Seems like a normal question to ask? That said, I don't know how much else he has said/done to piss of the rest of the community 
 No way it is!
That's why I'm not updating my node anymore, unless he gets a voice.
Good luck with their woke interests. 
 one person being so difficult that he has pretty much personally caused a few projects to begrudgingly concede that they need moderation guidelines in their github/community, just to ban him 
 Ok. Sounds plausible. Guess half an hour was enough to spend on that. Nothing to see here. Back to work ... 
 Why does Antoine Riard talk so much about his and TheBlueMatts relationships? What did I miss? Did someone fuck someone elses wives or what going on? 
 Previous conflicts when Antoine contributed in LDK. 
 Professional behavior 🙃
