Just to answer this quickly, as I think you're querying my earlier assertion |
| 6 |
that gentoo IRC is a lot of fun? |

The real point is that on IRC you can just type: /ignore asshat |
| 9 |
and you never know that person exists unless someone else is talking to him. |

That makes IRC in general a LOT easier to deal with than the ML. |

WRT paludis trolling, every year or so there's another couple of devs who |
| 13 |
get drawn into that circle. They usually end up a lot more embittered, and |
| 14 |
never as friendly as they used to be, ime. I've personally seen three guys |
| 15 |
I rated, and used to chat with, go through that process. In any |
| 16 |
event, /ignore makes #gentoo-* IRC bearable for me at worst, and |
| 17 |
more often it's a lot of fun. |
