Comment (by dcr226):
I'm not sure about the insulting part, but I can comment on the
"silenced"
part.
This was, in fact an error or sorts.
Southern_Gentleman intended to fire a "quiet" command at you, with a 0
timeout, as a warning-shot of sorts.
I wrote the "quiet" plugin for fedbot, and when I saw this; I figured the
plugin had failed, and set about figuring out what had happened...as a
result, I first quietened myself in another channel, and then fired off
the correct "quiet" command to silence you in the channel for 15
minutes...as it turned out, this was *not* SG's intention, so my (best
intentions because I thought the plugin had failed) actually resulted in a
15 minute silence in the channel.....sorry about that :-)
However.. I don't think you were insulted, but the temperature in the
channel was indeed escalating..I suggested that you might want to read the
manpages for both of the commands, so as not to continue the discussion
further - sadly, by this point it was reaching a boiling point.
I hope you don't consider the "silence" to be an attack, as the OP who
initially fired the command was not going to silence you for 15 minutes,
that was a mistake on my part...perhaps now is a good time for an
"unquiet" plugin :-)
