The real point is that on IRC you can just type: /ignore asshat 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 get drawn into that circle. They usually end up a lot more embittered, and never as friendly as they used to be, ime. I've personally seen three guys I rated, and used to chat with, go through that process. In any event, /ignore makes #gentoo-* IRC bearable for me at worst, and more often it's a lot of fun. -- #friendly-coders -- We're friendly but we're not /that/ friendly ;-)
