When we're talking about "you're spoiling our fun", are we talking about zoia's offensive plugins? I don't think I've seen anybody leap to the defense of @mf or @forecast (or any of the others mentioned). Some people have poured some of their craft beers on the ground for their fallen plugins, but I don't think anybody's actually come out and actively objected to cleaning up the bot's language. In fact, on the contrary, I think people have been pretty proactive about looking for the things that need to be cleaned up and trying to archive what's there before cleansing. I am not sure a defense of zoia is the same thing as a defense of @habla or @icp (as two examples). If we're not talking about zoia anymore, then apologies, -Ross.
