I have some patches on my Bitcoin Core node that I compile myself. The patches aren't open source; they are mine.
Am I a menace?

If it causes your client to fork the network, it would be a menace to you. But generally, no?
If you are skilled enough to modify, patch and compile your own client (core), [which I do of course], this doesn’t really apply. Depends what one is doing…

Agreed. So then, is it fair to say that the menace in the room isn't Knots per-se, but the endless hyperbole and influencer personalities that roam the tweeter sphere (and sometimes github / delving / mailing list)?

Oh no. The menace is the alternative clients. Knots is a false path created by a sick man.

It’s not strengthening the network, it’s delegation of thought to the lunatic fringe.

You can't demand that people "strengthen" the network though. People will "weaken" the network. The point is that it ought to be robust enough to withstand this nonsense. So far, so good?
