In many IRC channels I am in for open source projects giving someone a kickban for ignoring a channel moderator when they ask you to stop off topic discussion is common and perfectly acceptable, If I was a channel moderator and asked you to stop a certain behavior and you didn't I'd also ban you for a period. While yes our irc channels tend to allow more offtopicness then many we tend to steer away from the controversial parts of politics and religion, open source projects generally take in people from a range of view points and often its best to avoid arguments that aren't going to get anywhere. But most importantly the channel operators / moderators have been appointed to have the final say on what is and isn't too far off topic, in this case even from the log you posted I don't think it was unreasonable for you to be asked to take that off topic chat elsewhere, you chose to ignore a moderator so you faced the consequences of that choice and were banned. I am sure equally after a period of time if the channel moderators feel that you will listen to them and respect them they will remove that ban. Yes Kainx's language wasn't the best but you were personally attacking him as much as he was you (you just used different words) so don't play innocent. All in all I think KainX's actions were for the most part reasonable and maybe once everything cools down a bit someone will remove your ban (as long as you listen to and respect the moderators) -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
