oh i dont know, most IRC channels are okay, you just have to follow simple rules, like you do in every day life, you wouldnt walk up to a strange and start hurling abuse at someone so you wouldnt do that on IRC :-). However there is an exception to every rule. there are really strange channels and some ops can be very power hungry and like to rule as if they were king or sommat, I try not to do that :-) only things I really clamp down on is piracy of amiga software, excessive flooding and excessive swearing.
