Ok, this is getting childish.  If you can't handle someone calling you a
name, you're going to have a hard time in this life.  What, if someone calls
you a dumbfuck on the street, are you going to write a letter to the Mayor
saying how upset you are and how someone should do something to make people
be more polite ?  Gimmie a break.  Grow up.

Hey, I got this really great idea.  You ready for it ?  If you don't like
the ops on #FreeBSD/EFNet........DON'T GO ON #FreeBSD/EFNet !!!

lol !  The extreme mental processing it takes to discover such a concept
cannot be expressed in words alone.

When kick banning someone is considered a "rash action" you've been logged
on to IRC for too many hours.  I recommend a 2-4 day break from IRC just to
let a little reality mix back in with all those silly channel modes.

Haven't you guys ever heard "Remember: It's only IRC"
