The whole point of this thread was that "free speech", also known as mostly bullshit, is not allowed in the technical board. Either it is, or it isn't. If we start making differences between each cased based on perceived intent, the history of the user, disruption and whether any financial harm can arise out of it, we are just going to add a lot more bias into the idea. Either all kinds of bullshit is allowed there or it is not. Pick which way you want it to be, but don't go acting as a lawyer for some people and not for others.

You mean the guy that said LN was centralized (IIRC). Who said that it LN is completely insecure because of some fringe vulnerability that can not be exploited against anybody, much less the whole network? Yes, definitely no malice there. Completely normal behavior.

When there is a pattern of misinformation, nefariousness is implied by the person who is posting.

He does not have the knowledge or experience to write any substantial criticism of any of the features or their implementation. He is just doing medium-level FUD, things that sounds correct but are completely false like this.

The most basic argument dismisses this stupidity, it is a false sequitur with a idiotic appeal to popularity. Bech32 was amazing, it took an eternity to become mainstream. Importance and greatness has nothing to do with the adoption curve. Here, I corrected him now in a factual way (if the reader of this post has ever read a single research study in their whole lives). Now he will not change his tune, but he will continue to spread this misinformation. That to you, is not malicious behavior? Perhaps I am new here, but you seem quite young.
