- I have a very similar tale to tell. I recently became and IRC
- operator (but I am still mostly human). I went to #twilight_zone to ask a
- simple question about #HACK warnings. Now of the 3 people who answered me,
- I got 2 stupid responses and one good one. One of the responses was a command
- whoi would have auto-killed me apon receiving a HACK, and this is from someone
- who is responisble for the entire US IRC routing. The other suggestion was to
- SQUIT the server of the HACKing person. Now, I understand having some fun,
- hell when I have spare time I enjoy fooling around. BUT , when someone asks me
- a question about something I know (especially if the question is asked nicely,
- which mine was) I get serious and try to help the person out. The majority of
- folks in #twilight_zone are so deep in their own superiority over other mere
- _HUMAN_ IRC people that they love to be arrogant little gods.
-
- Old time IRC operators: Believe it or not you are not gods. Just
- becuase we all can not write a new server code does not mean we exist to be
- played with. Your attitude is yet another reason why IRC is starting its
- fast decline to hell. Grow up and act like human beings.

- (this is not directed at all IRC operators. There are some good ones left.
- TRILLIAN, STAHLE ,WIZARD, JUMPJOE, CRAHN and CYBERMAGE leap to mine and
- a FEW others.)

- New IRC operator(but do not hold it against me)
- Silek.
