Here is what I observed happening:
After some joking around about the general negative attitude in #debian, a bunch of us went over there and did nothing at all. "thunderbear" asked a question that someone else said had gotten them an RTFM response, that, when they asked why just the RTFM led to a ban.
So he asks. And no one says anything. So he says "jeez, I haven't had this much trouble in #fedora, I just don't want to reinstall every 6 months". And a couple other, similarly benign other distro comments to try to get someone to answer his question. Someone actually answered the question. I was surprised and left.
It seems to me that whoever did the ban wasn't paying attention, because although they attempted to justify it based on thunderbear's trolling, they didn't ban *his* host at all.

Hello
I am not happy that some of our members purposely went to the debian irc channel on freenode and got our entire server banned.

I've seen this particular individual attack me as well on the channel and I think this bs has got to stop. I dont see this type of behaviour on any other channels.
