Period. Quit being selective in your hearing. The reason I ignored the rest of your statement is that it was irrelavent. If you believe a channel belongs to the owners of the channel for as long as they can hold it, than any other conditions you put on that statement are irrelavent. > From some of the postings, your attitude and mantra are NOT held by all > the ops on #freebsd - just some.

It's not even my channel, so why the hell is it what's best for me ? You're on crack. I was expressing my opinion, and that opinion is this, *If they have ops it's their channel, they can do as they see fit*. I never made this personal. You did. You're taking a simple debate about IRC Channel ownership and turning it into a personal flame war, and I won't have any part of it. If you don't like my opinion fine. But me expressing my opinion doesn't mean I'm trying to take over the forum or some such stupidity. What the hell are you talking about ? Jesus. Calm down, take a few deep breaths and go take a walk out side. It's only computers, it's not the Holy Jihad. I love FreeBSD too, and I'm all for promoting it, but the fact that we love FreeBSD doesn't mean the rules and standards of EfNet IRC are going to change for us. > If the channel is NOT associated with the Project, get the FAQ changed. > > THAT is what I said. Period. Someone already said they were doing that. Maybe if you weren't so busy ranting, you'd have noticed that. Period.
