Comment:

 Interesting that this one comes up here. Now let me make myself to the
 most hated op in #fedora* :)

 pitchfork is no op, correct. He is very well known with his former nick
 for a lot of things. Most of them, well, negative.

 "IMHO", he's one of the few persons in the channel, allowed to act as he
 wants, due to "other people" speaking for him and even fighting for
 him/his rights. I'm currently not going to point with fingers at persons.
 I was the one (some time ago) with the balls to make his wish come true
 and perm banned him from #fedora and #fedora-social (one for posting porn
 pics in the open channel and in PM to users not expecting that, the other
 for attacking me personally badly in PM and the open channel). Now the
 interesting part, both bans got lifted, extremely soon. One without any
 permission from me, by his personal-care-taker.

 I'm always impressed when i think about, that people, follow
 conversations, do read logs, but nobody cares for real what happens. Some
 people can do what they want, op and non-op. It ends up with "the
 situation wasn't handled perfectly", "hopefully we can learn something
 from it". Yes, people are already educated how things work in #fedora,
 they already learned it :)

 That's one of the reasons i started to not care about #fedora that much as
 i did in the past, in my spare time. Often i just watch the channel. Quite
 interesting, as i said.

 Oh, before i forget.. I see my role as op not as the hardcore helper with
 some extra power to kick out/ban poeple, but as a person trying to keep
 the channel calm. Includes to not be the one flaming, attacking others in
 the first place.

 As said, feel free to hate me, but it's the truth.
