Hear Hear, this was the original point in starting this thread. I have seen
new people kicked off the channel which in turn alienates the person. I dont
think that the channel should be some eleetist place...it should be a place
to discuss new ideas, products, and software, not some fraternity. Granted
there are some dorks out there who will make a point of being annoying, thats
when the @ infront of ones name gives them the right to do something, but as
of late the kicking i think has become out of hand. Also the shitlist is
*way* too long....some of this being the result of the generous use of
kicking.

My 2 cents worth *shrug*
