Do you want to be?

Ironically, through the evidence linked to in my first email, you could 
use that line with lilo and just replace "LUG" with "IRC Network".

Swlug isn't fun at times like these.  It's more I don't want to be in a 
lug with a group of people who do nothing but shoot down suggestions and 
offer smug , condescending comments.  What you do is up to you.

When looking at bait like this I understand why Gedge is a vegan.

It wasn't an argument at all.  It was merely an informed list of reasons 
as to why I wanted to move, for the benefit of people such as lilg who 
haven't been on freenode / openprojects very long and were confused as 
to what all the fuss was about.

Feel free to /quit at any time.  I'll see you at the lug tonight for 
some non IRC interaction :)
