- YEAH! Really nice! I like it!
- There are ppl who discovered IRC a week ago CRY IN CAPS and tell damn
- bullshit as if they know what they are talking about!
-
- And they all cry "IRC is an anarchy", "IRC is only for FUN", "IRC has no
- rules".
- You really don't know anything!
-
- There are a lot of Admins (mostly in Europe), who DON'T /kill for fun,
- who have set up rules, who do not abuse their "powers" and who have
- IRC users that do not (and have not to) complain about their Ops and Admins!
-
- And there is a small amount of users that don't use IRC for FUN and
- chatting, but for information exchange, consulting and coordination!
- But this may be beyond the imaginary powers of some of you!
-
- Maybe this is all, cause the biggest contingent of IRC Servers are in the US.
- And most of them are only set up for EGO reasons and we could shut down
- 80% of them and remove 95% of the Ops there!
- And maybe it's because most of them think US is the best and US rules the
- world and they do not recognize that there are other, which find their
- behaviour boring (in the best case) or annoying (in the standard case)!
- But maybe it's only because most of them are a little insane and have
- psychic problems!
-
- Think of it and consult your psychiater!
-
- Sorry if I made mistakes with my English, but I tried my best!
- This is an international newgroup, spread all over the world, not one
- distributed only in US and at least I have sometimes problems understanding
- all the slang bubbling! I really hope that doesn't mean the authors can't
- speak/write better english.
