I am aware of and happy with the fact that IRC belongs to, and is
controlled by on-one, and that nobody here is responsible for any behavior
in the #FreeBSD channel on the (main) EFNet IRC network.  But this seemed
as good a place as any to discuss it...

well, here's the log, it should speak for itself...

----------------------------------------------------------------------
~ [ctcp(#freebsd)] EMAIL
~~~ [mode/#FreeBSD(+b *!*arxus@*.bellatlantic.net)] by Obi-Wan
~~~ You were kicked off #freebsd by micro (banned)
~~~ [#freebsd] banned from channel.
-BooYaa- my email: booyaa@world-net.net
~~~ [#freebsd] banned from channel.
~~~ [#freebsd] banned from channel.

<Darxus>  what the hell was that for ?
<Obi-Wan> Because I don't want to be ctcp'd
<Darxus>  so you kick me out of the channel, and now I'm banned, because I
          did a friggin ctcp request ??
<Obi-Wan> talk to someone else if you want to be unbanned
<Darxus>  you ban me and don't want to take responsibility for it ??
<Obi-Wan> I take full responsibility, but I'm not going to unban you
<Darxus>  why ?
<Darxus>  how is a ctcp request grounds for banning ?
<Obi-Wan> because I'm irritable and we don't need /ctcp's to the channel
          which aren't standard

~ [ctcp(obi-wan)] VERSION
~~~ CTCP VERSION reply from Obi-Wan: ircII 2.9_roof FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE
         :[PurePak] Kewlness, a more elegant weapon, from a more civilized
         age

<Obi-Wan> it's grounds in my book, I don't care what anyone else thinks
<Obi-Wan> so you ctcp me again, this is going nowhere, I'll just ignore
          you
<Darxus>  I was curious what you're client was
<Darxus>  that's a standard ctcp request
<Darxus>  and the other one is a standard ctcp request for the client I'm
          using, so I was curious who else decided to use that option
----------------------------------------------------------------------

so I currently can't take part in the discussions in #FreeBSD because this
guy's got something against ctcp requests...
