Comment (by duffy):

 "Switching your name based on your various periods of inactivity can also
 be rather annoying, especially when overused. There are many people in
 channel, please be considerate of their attention."

 Yes, please be considerate of their attention and do not engage in a
 20-line long lambasting of someone for going -afk (a VERY common
 convention in the #fedora- development channels) in the channel. If you
 have a problem with someone's nick, and you know them, talk to them about
 it privately! If the point is to 'save' the channel from off-topic noise,
 yelling at someone across 20 lines is extremely counter-productive.

 I've completely given up on #fedora. If you want developers to participate
 you need to lighten up on this following-the-letter-of-my-arbitrary-law-
 to-the-extreme-of-missing-the-entire-point-in-the-first-place bullshit.
