Comment (by dcr226):

 I don't think we need to break out into threats...There are plenty of
 fedora developers on #fedora, if they decide not to hang out on #fedora
 because of a) a policy which has been around for ages and b) because you
 asked them not to participate on #fedora...then quite frankly, I
 personally don't want them there.

 Pre-emptively, I'm -1 for any change in policy. The OP has changed nicks
 an insignificant amount of times on the channel (2 nick changes in 1313 in
 my logs), I don't see where they are coming from.

 I would also like to know where they get off making the statement:

 ''the question is, do you want Fedora developers in #fedora or not? Answer
 that and you'll know what to do.
 ''

 From a person who spends an insignificant amount of time on the channel,
 manages to alienate existing helpers...is now threatening to stop
 developers (or speaking on behalf of them) participating in the support
 channel.

 Someone close the ticket as CHILDISH-VOTEATTHEMEETING

 Thanks
