That's what i always say. There is NO possibility of life around red dwarfs due to their violent behaviour. Whenever i see articles about possible life around Proxima Centauri i mention this. And there are always people who want to argue.

Are there well-behaved K-M stars at all? I thought there might be a few that don’t flare like this.

But then again, when they do flare, and all stars will flare if they have differential rotation and magnetic fields… These low mass stars have surface gravity to keep the flare in check?

So many variables.
