[wplug-plan] IRC problem for #wplug

[Robert Ball]

I too agree that the wplug channel should be open...  Billings, just be 
sure to keep track of infringing material that this individual has 
introduced.  Logs can be your friend.  If the person comes and asks why 
he / she was banned from the channel, we can give several examples.  If 
the harassment continues outside of IRC, we should ban them from 
meetings as well (as long as their identities can be proven). 
That's just my .02.
