hi,

Just a note to remind people that we in the #amiga.org IRC channel consider it somewhat bad form to publish chunks of log anywhere (even on this site) without permission. We don't want to end up in a situation where everyone feels they have to be careful what they say because someone will paste it all over the forums. We currently have a relaxed, friendly and open atmosphere in the channel where people can say what they want. If anyone crosses the line it's up to the operators to take action. That's the way things are and we don't want that to change.

But this is off-topic. If anyone wants to discuss it further, drop in to #amiga.org on irc.zirc.org. See the "Join Us for Live Chats!" information on the left. ;-)

Damn, ajk beat me to it. But yeah...

I seem to recall someone posting some IRC log a while back, and even though the content was just light-hearted humour (unlike this unfortunate selection) some of the people quoted didn't appreciate it (...ok, it might just have been me.)

What is said in the channel is for the people present at the time. If you want a piece of the action you have to be there. This being one of it's appeals.

Paradox:

Erm... Yeah.. You're hardly in a position to take the moral high ground, Paradox. And it wasn't my intention to help you get one up on Piru (although that hasn't really happened.) I understand you're probably just be making light of this, but others may not see it that way.

My previous message was not solely for your benefit. I'm not defending your comments (far from it), but rather the right of privacy that all channel members should have. So although you say you don't have a problem with this, it doesn't excuse the fact that it happened. And so long as it doesn't happen again, all is fine and dandy.

If you're going to be sticking around in the channel inviting this sort of thing, the rest of us will suffer as a consequence. And be warned, if that happens, Matron will probably just ban you. But hopefully this is all moot and that won't be required. I hope so.


koaftder:

Because them be the rules. It's not a public channel in that sense. Sure, anyone can join, talk, stick around. It's more like an online social club of some sort. You wouldn't expect a conversation you have with some mates in a pub to be printed in the local paper the following morning. I really don't get the current blogging culture where everyone wants to broadcast their every whim to the world.

Of course if someone wants to paste something, asks and everyone involved says "go ahead" (which more often than not would be the case), that's cool.


Anyway, sorry all for going all off-topic yet again. I just wanted to be sure that's cleared up and my sentiment/side/agenda is understood.

I do have an opinion regarding the topic, btw, and it is this: amiga.org is the daddy.
