That doesn't seem very logical to me. > If you don't, then perhaps you should advocate moving Debian to a network > you think better meets its needs. Well, OPN has been just fine. The channels are kept in order, there's no constant kicking, banning etc, the servers aren't splitting as often as before. But then you started asking for money, and obviously some of us are not at all convinced that the requests are warranted. The infighting and forking of staff, often server splits, we've sat through all that quietly, supporting you and hoping everything would get resolved nicely. And it mostly did. But this is much more of an ethical issue, and despite our usually pragmatic attitude towards matters, I don't think we should settle with something like this. -- 2.
