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