EFNet is a cesspool and you should expect only ill treatment on it.  I
know, I occasionally hang out there and can say with experience that
the general "ethic" seems to be that if you have ops, you should use
them to kick and/or ban folks whenever possible, grounds for which
include having a lame nickname, asking questions or otherwise annoying
someone with ops by the simple fact that you exist.  Better either get
used to it or join BSDNet at irc.freebsd.org instead. :-)
