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.

 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
