   The docs do have their problems, and I think we've all agreed on that.  I   
   offered to add stuff to the wiki where I could if you identified something that   
   you needed help with, but you never responded.  I did add a page about the   
   flash policy server (which has now become outdated) specifically for you, but I   
   doubt if you ever read it.

    > Channel and the irc network for no reason.   
      
   That's simply untrue.  We *very* rarely ban anybody from channels, let alone   
   the network.  For those rare kicks or bans there is always a reason.   
      
   Now, I will admit that we did have one channel operator who was overly fond of   
   managing the channel with temporary (eg. 48 hour) bans and such (sometimes not   
   for very *good* reasons, but reasons nonetheless.)  This is no longer a   
   problem, to the questionable extent that it was one to begin with.   
      
   You often say that people abuse and hide behind "power" on that network.   
   "Power" is a grandiose term, but be that as it may you're welcome to disagree   
   with ops and opers without "fear" of reprisal.  Please accept my invitation to   
   return to the bbs-scene IRC network.  You're free to hang out, chat, agree or   
   disagree with anybody on any subject you see fit.  You won't be kicked or   
   banned unless there is a *very* good reason for it, and that is unlikely to   
   come to pass if you hold up the standard of adult behaviour that you espouse.   
      
   Maybe we should try to get back on topic here, and see how long it lasts.
