: : House Rules:

: : Anyone and everyone is welcome, but bad behavior will cause a ban.

: Whoa, this is sweet.

: Banning me cause you are an IDIOT?  Come on.

I am not an idiot. Please don't talk this flame war to csa2.

: And on top of all of this, I am root on the Winternet systems, not
: Belgorath.  Funny.  You show your brains on this one pal.

Well, I thought Belgorath was root on belgo.winternet.com, and since
you seem to have access to several systems as root, I thought an
overall root ban would be very nice indeed.

: And my conduct?  Those that actually know me know me to be very helpful

: Now, you, ya idiot, are stupid.  To put it bluntly, you are flamebait.

: : 1. Do not ask for ops. I am the only op on the channel.

: Bah, gotta love a tyranny.

Multiple ops was a big problem with #AppleIIgs.

: Rolf, you must be a virgin or something as henous.  Cure your disease and

Very funny.

: : 3. No teasing newbies. Violators will be warned, then kicked, then
: : banned.

: What?  Every aspect of life teases newbies, we are not doing something out

They never teased me at first on #Jeopardy.

: : 4. No software piracy. This never was a problem on #AppleIIgs, and I
: : don't want it to become one for #Apple2GS, so I'm saying this now.
: : Basically, if it's not shareware or freeware, I don't want to see it

: : is aggressively enforced. Violators will be kicked and banned faster
: : than you can say "warez." Also, no illegal disassemblies. This means
: : you, Dr. Tom! I will not hesitate to put a ban on *1WSW*@*Calon.com.

: Hmm..  I have to agree with you here though.

: : 5. No Flooding. Flood and get banned. Period.

: Hmm..  pot calling the kettle black?  You have flooded us more than once
: and I am sure you will do it again.

That was because of your insane behavior. Also, daver and his
"daverbot" have in fact flooded ME in the past. Turnabout is fair play.

: : 6. No Unauthorized Bots. Bots will be kicked. Bots that continue to
: : return will be banned. For authorization, please e-mail me. Running
: : floodbots will result in your entire domain getting K-lined.

: Tell me this, what is an authorized bot?  Again, tyranny at its worst.

An authorized bot is one with an e-mail address that equals
rbraun@Hopper.ITC.Virginia.EDU or has been specifically authorized by
me. Don't hesitate to ask for authorization! I am willing to give it
provided the bot is good.

: And since you are just a lowly user, not an admin or IRC op, it is pretty
: hard to get something K-lined on IRC, either EFNet, Undernet or Overnet.

Oops, I meant BANNED, and for a long time, too.

Uh huh, and what is this Coalition? Probably StarNet, Inc. and
WinterNet, trying to make fast bucks.
