I don't think so.  I think the opinion that counts in this is the opinion of
the people with ops.  If I owned #windows on EfNet and Microsoft or Windows
users came in and told me they didn't like my channel rules, I'd tell them
to lodge their complains firmly up their anus.  Now, I know the people in
#freebsd are alot better people than that, but you can't expect that they're
going to bow to everyone's whim.

You honestly think that having a polite IRC channel is that big of a factor
in having FreeBSD grow ?  You have to be kidding me.

To summarize to you and anyone else who mistakenly thinks otherwise.  If you
don't have ops, your opinion does not matter.  #freebsd is not yours simply
because you run FreeBSD.  Apparently you don't understand how IRC works.
