- Shall I post logs of it ? :)
- Besides ... mode 'hacks' are relative ... a perfectly legitimate op to me
- may not be recognized in .au ... and TheCure was most definately hacking ops,
- not to 'fix' a channel, but to mess with it ... (with cures like this, who
- needs diseases?)

- Yup. I did it. (Found TheCure on the channel, and kicked him ...)
- Scott's new mass kick/ban bots were promptly sent to the channel. Of course,
- they used this nifty little hack Avalon told the entire world about to get op.
- So I kicked and banned Scott and bots (after they mass kicked ...) and soon
- found that my links to my server kept dropping, over and over ...
-
- So who's hacking now ?
-
- (In thecure's defense, he didn't do any mass kicks or anything like that ...
- he just messaged me like I was nuts for kicking and banning him, and said
- he wasn't doing it 'now', so I let him back on ... but he then soon left.)

- Puhleez ...
-
- I imagine if somebody managed to deop everybody on #hack or #twilight_zone,
- it wouldn't last for long ...
