Absurd and false. Paul is shooting from the hip with no knowledge
whatsoever.
It is possible he has been caught in a ban which was too wide and
intended for someone else, or do you know something that isn't on d-u?
Indeed Jon is exactly correct. I document what I did to solve the problem.
Sending email to staff@freenode.net was not helpfull.
Instead I logged on to the #freenode channel, and one of the kind people
there
pointed out that all of my sector of verizon had been banned by someone,
and
he immediately removed that from applying to me.
I am curious that such wide bans can be so easily applied without an
easily
documented method to appeal them.
Also, Paul Johnson you should think and investigate before you offer
comments, particularly if you have no knowledge of the issue, and
particularly if what you say might lead someone to despair of redress of
a
grievance. As a frequent (and often useful) contributor to debian-user you
have a bigger responsibility for what you say.
