Comment (by duffy):

 Yes, my reaction was absolutely influenced by the fact I was getting
 pinged repeatedly and I could not quit IRC because I was working in one of
 the channels, setting /away did not help. Getting pinged in #fedora to top
 that off was heaping onto an already-stressful situation.

 Passive-aggressively threatening to quit being an op refusing to discuss
 the policy is also not a productive way to field the issue you referenced
 above, and would have been better served with a calm reference to this
 ticket system in PRIVMSG.

 I don't understand how refusing to help someone until they do what you
 tell them to do (seen that) or repeating the same message multiple times
 (seen that) or honestly just a one-line reference to the faq helps with
 the goal of keeping the 'precious channel buffer' as pristine as the rules
 seem to intend it to be.
