That's fair. I can see how someone running knots could be unfairly categorized as supporting everything Luke does/says/intends when they merely like having more control over their mempool policy.

I think that's a sign of how out of control this debate has become. I've also seen people who intend to run the latest versions of Core, not necessarily because of mempool policy changes but for security and robustness reasons, get treated like they are pro-spam, pro-csam, pro-non-monetary bitcoin usage.
