- No, Really?
-
- : 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!
-
- You imbecile, assuming you are talking about me, if you had checked w/ Nickserv,
- my nick has been registered since the beginning of January..WOW! What a long
- week...Makes you wonder if an OP on Nickserv is anymore competent then us
- "US OPS that have EGO problems"
-
- : And they all cry "IRC is an anarchy", "IRC is only for FUN", "IRC has no
- : rules".
- : You really don't know anything!
-
- Oh do I not know anything? Where is there a handbook or IRC rules? Where
- does it say that IRC is to be taken with the seriousness of an exam? Why
- do they then call it the Internet Relay Chat? Or did you not know this?
- Correct me if I am wrong, but one chats to another out of their leisure..
- I refer to Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, "Chat 1: Idle small talk.
- 2: Light familar talk ESP: Conversation." Maybe you should take your own
- verbal garbage into personal consideration..Indeed, your rubbish is just a
- mere representation of your lack of intelligence
-
- : 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!
-
- Good for them. Where are these rules? Have you ever thought that compiling
- these rules and a simple posting of them would be useful? If you want to whine
- and gripe about the behaviour of an IRCpeonOP or an IRCADMIN, there are
- higher forms of stopping them..Or do you not know of any?
-
- : 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!
-
- True, but this is not the MAIN purpose of IRC. If I am not mistaken, the
- main purpose of IRC was to enhance on the general idea of the TALK command
- (I infer this from various sources and readings) SO that numerous people
- could "Chat." I refer you to my earlier definition of CHAT
-
- : 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!
-
- EGO reasons? My friend (not), it appears you have quite a bit to learn
- yourself. Have you ever heard of trying to improve the current standard? Of
- course, adding another server to the net will lag it down..No argument about
- that..But there is also a wish for many people for their own school to have
- a server..to help out other IRCusers..With the convenience of having
- their own server (Though it may not be a convenience in most cases). I know
- that these wishes, in the long run, are damaging to the net..But sometimes
- people like to improve their current standing to try and benefit the people
- immediately around them. I do not see this as an egotistical reason. I
- do not see how ANYONE can see this as an egotistical reason..And the fact
- that YOU see it as an egostistcal reason suggests something of your current
- mindset...In most cases, servers that were given links or IRCpeonOPS that
- were given O-lines with EGO problems have been taken away..Or are in the
- process of. Egotistical people are not liked on the net...Maybe you are not
- aware of this, but actions are taken to make sure they are properly handled.
-
- : 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!
-
- Well, okay, fine, be that way. But a few decades ago, a certain country
- thought that it could outsmart the world with it most bogus Von Schleffon
- Plan (sp?) Have you ever heard of that? I, nor, anyone I know in the US
- has made such a prejudiced remark...Maybe you fell off the wrong side of the
- bed and hit your head on a sharp object...Insanity is the inability to reason..
- Your past remarks have been more than adequately unreasonable..People are
- labeled as having psychic problems if they think about killing their parents,
- incest, thinking that aliens will invade Earth, that they can take over
- a WHOLE continent, or thinking that whole societies or sections of a certain
- society have one diagnosis..I don't know any people w/ these problems, but
- I can think of one person right now...
-
- : Think of it and consult your psychiater!
-
- Like I said before, follow your own advice..they maybe able to correct you
- If diagnosed early enough...
-
- : *FLAME OFF*
-
- You bet it is...
- Have a nice day..
