It's not my policy, and I've violated it several times and been banned for
it.  All I'm truely arguing is that the channel ops and owners can run the
channel as they see fit.  It's not a matter of "abusing the @".  If you come
to my house and don't follow my rules, and I kick you out, I'm not abusing
the fact that I'm big enough to throw you out, I'm enforcing the rules of my
house.  See the difference ?
