IRC Behavioural Issues.

I've been logging the channel continuously with very few interruptions since, oh, maybe early March of '07 when I got the iMac back from service that one time.

I'd say if you want to see what goes on in the IRC channel, then go ahead and join. We don't bite unless we're provoked, and sometimes, we can be downright friendly.

It's not necessarily a good reference resource, but we're usually good for fielding a question or two, and we can help point you in the right direction if you need help quickly (although I still advocate asking complex multi-part questions on the forum, since few of us actually read the backlog of what happened when we were gone.)

 
Sorry about the IRC war rubbish

I had one source who exadurated everything. Forgive me please.

Please. Sorry.

If I really royally screwed up, I will leave.

i feel like an idiot. Gah. CHECK MY SOURCES.

FFS! i just got banned for trying to defend to Aeroraptor (john) why I was on the forums! He started to question me on why I am even related to the forums, and techfury90 kicked me and banned me after aeroraptor started attacking me for not having 68k machines in the house, or why I don't post about 68k machines on the forums (which I actually do) and *I* am the one to get kicked out of the channel? TO THE CHANNEL: ****-OFF!!! I am getting sick of this damned attacking and being banned for stuff that I am trying to defend myself on. Aeroraptor: Why are you so disagreeable? you keep attacking me! Same goes for Techfury90

Get a life guys!!!

Do not take it out on me. I was just stopping an argument in a manner instructed by Cory5412. You were even warned a few days prior for arguing, and I even told you that if you kept on arguing, you'd be banned. I let it slide a few times, but eventually, something had to be done.

you refuse to even confront others who are attacking people. I have NEVER ONCE attacked you on something. I seem to be the one defending myself, and you never to tell someone like aeroraptor to cut it out. Instead you tell me to stop arguing (which I am trying to defend myself) and aeroraptor gets away with belittling me. It seems you need to get your priorities straight about who you ban and what you op.

Sorry, but I'm just doing what Cory5412 wanted me to. If you'd like to get it taken care of, perhaps you should speak to him privately versus creating a scene online to draw attention.

I just sent a message to cory5412 hoping that aeroraptor will be dealt with for all the belittling done in the channel. All I did was try to defend myself and even trying to just drop the subject, but aeroraptor kept going at me. I would like this dealt with ASAP from all the bullying done by him and a few others

In all honesty, when I first joined the channel I felt like I think what you do. However, once I stopeed asked completely stupid questions, and acting a bit more mature, everyone was really nice. I don't think there is an amount of unfairness. No one wants to site through a flame war. it doesn't matter if you were just "defending yourself." If you had presented your points in a logical, thought out matter, instead of screaming like you probably did, there would be no problem

If I'm wrong about what I said, then sorry, but I can imagine that is what happened. :p

There are allways people that cause drama wherever they go, and yet it is "never" their fault. People get tired of it.

People who wanted to drop the subject don't post about it on public discussion forums which only further perpetuates "the subject."

It's worthwhile to note that public discussion forums like this can be considered a permanent record, completely accessible to the public. If there's been any immaturity going on, I think these posts are a good indicator of who it is.
