          Perhaps I'm too much of an IRC noob, but I still found it it
          rather<br>
          surprising to be banned from libera.chat (my IP is
          blacklisted) for<br>
          pasting a 25-line build script for building GHC via hadrian on
          FreeBSD<br>
          into the #ghc channel.<br>
          <br>
          This was in response to a discussion about issues with the
          bindist,<br>
          how the port is built, ... and while perhaps I'm expected to
          use a<br>
          paste bin, the abrupt ban was rather a harsh response.<br>
          <br>
          The ban appears to have been "temporary", an hour or so later
          I am<br>
          able to reconnect, but this does not leave a good impression.<br>
