[wplug-plan] IRC problem for #wplug

[Richard Farina]

For the good of the channel, you have my whole-hearted permission to ban 
individuals that are of to extreme detriment to the atmosphere of the 
channel, however, this is not my solution.  I would simply prefer is a user 
was kicked (maybe 30 minute ban) for misbehavior, depsite the fact that 
some users can be a detriment to the channel, we should encourage better 
behave and not just cut off people.

But as I said, I would not fault you for a perma-ban in this situation....
