[wplug-plan] IRC problem for #wplug

[Jonathan S. Billings]

Well, he was getting on my nerves again, I kicked him out for a while, 
and explained to him that I received several complaints.  He came in to 
the channel with several other /nicks and once using an AOL dialup 
account, claiming to be a friend of him, and finally threatened me and 
insinuated that we might have some sort of conflict at an up-coming 
WPLUG event.

I'm rather sad and tired of having to deal with this kind of childish 
behavior on a channel that has mostly been very well behaved for the 
last several years.  I hate having to be the bad guy here.  I don't 
think he'll listen to me, so I asked him to complain to the WPLUG board 
if he had any complaints about my actions.  I believe I was acting in 
WPLUG's best interest, but if the board sees otherwise, I will follow 
through with their decision.

Sorry to have to bring up such frustrating problems.
