I wasn't there at anime.terratron.com in #Fanfic
the other day.  

I was very very surprised to find out that some loser
had the channel on moderated mode and shit!  It's
not like there were 50 people there or anything--so
i'm gonna apologize to everyone who took time out of
their day to go to that LAME meeting.  If i'd been
there none of that would have happened.  Sorry.

As for you people who made that decision...if you
disagree, bring it on.  The nick's Phoney, I'll be glad
to outline to you that #fanfic is a channel for fanfic
_discussion_, not some kind of silly monologue.
Everyone is supposed to talk.  I don't care how crazy
a motherfucking channel gets man, the point of irc
is the free and dynamic discussion of whatever people
feel like saying.

I was there and enjoyed the discussion that took place. I didn't make
any decisions, and I'm not sure what your problem is, Phoney; but I
don't appreciate the flames, and if you weren't there I don't see what
business it was of yours anyway.

Everyone talking doesn't have to mean everyone talking at once.
Personally, I was glad to have a chance to sound off about the fic I'm
working on, and I thank the people who stopped and listened; and I was
glad to stop and listen to the other people. It was a good discussion,
better than it would have been if we had had everyone talking and no one
listening.
