- Well, for your sake, don't join the military. During basic training,
- you are often punished because of the actions of others. It does 2
- things - (1) Make it so that you don't do dumb things, because you
- know what it feels like when you are punished for somebody else's dumb
- things (2) If you are continuously doing dumb things, you're comrades
- around you 'give you a little insentive' to quit doing those things.
-
- What is going on in #amiga with site bans is quite the same thing.
- When a person comes on, does dumb stuff, and is kicked, take it as a
- severe warning to 'knock it off'. If they rejoin and do it again,
- their adress will be banned (*!Joe_User@*.internet.net). If they
- rejoin with another login name, then the whole site is banned
- (*!*@*.internet.net). Mr. Poag is one such person who does this - he
- often comes on with different logons, thus he cannot be banned by
- himself. The ban is a direct result of his actions, and the ban on
- other users from his site is the 'punishment' that everyone else
- gets. Take this punishment seriously... EMail your INet provider and
- have his account killed, or at least his IRC access removed. When
- this happens, the Ops in #amiga would be glad to remove the site ban.
-
- The simple fact is this - the argument is getting old. This thread,
- or at least other like it, have been going on for quite some time.
- And the simple fact remains - if you don't like what is going on in
- EfNet #amiga, don't go there! IRC is a privilege to use, and IRC Ops
- and Channel Ops are there to give some kind of support to the
- controlled chaos in there. Its is a type of 'government'. But with
- all governments, some people will be upset. Get used to it - its
- called reality. If you can't handle whats going on in #amiga, or
- treat it as the minor thing it is, then I suggest that you go out into
- the real world and see how it works.
