I assume he's well meaning because I've been seeing his posts for a few months already in the OCaml forums before this pattern of his started, but he's suddenly acting irrational and doubling down. There's no way I can put that nicely, plus he's since deleted his strongest reactions so you can't grasp it fully either.

This is not my first interaction with him outside HN, I already talked to him privately when this was starting to unfold in the OCaml community. Then I gave up, flagged his ads for the mods and blocked him for a few months, but I've kept encountering his drama on github and HN.

Good faith includes the ability to respect and listen to the other person (or in this case, multiple other people who have been working on these projects for years). The attitude he demonstrates has been and remains (this is a quote from him elsewhere on this thread):

> existing open source projects are not ready for this and likely won't ever be.

i.e. he is enlightened and these projects are just not seeing The Way™.

Good faith doesn't mean you can waste people's time. It's the reason why patents for perpetual motion machines are banned in most countries. The inventors often genuinely believe they've done it and want to help people, and yet it just wastes people's time having to review them.

In either case I'd argue it is no longer good faith if asked to stop and you continue and do not learn from your peers.
