Chris,
Magnus, actually. Has been for years. See "from" header.
However, I do agree that the idea that "I'm the SysAdmin, Deal with it" is the wrong attitude for a member-driven group unless there is prior justification based on the actions and attitudes of the member in question. I'm sure that you've NEVER done anything to justify bot privs being revoked on #trilug.
Basic history: 1) I do something to piss off Kevin, whatever it is, it's rather moot. 2) Kevin ignores me. (everything is fine up to this point) 3) From behind an /ignore, Kevin continues to poke and prod and stir stuff up with me, knowing he cannot read my responses. I have the bot @lart him to just chill out and proceed with his /ignore. 4) Kevin has the bot /ignore me. If you want to /ignore someone in IRC, whatever, that's fine. It's more than a bit nasty to announce (often) the /ignore and continue to taunt that person from behind it. Whatever, fine, that's free speech. Nasty but still probably defensible in a libertarian sense. The line is crossed when one of the people in the situation uses their privileged rights to start denying other members access to LUG resources. OK so it's just a silly IRC bot today.
